Starter Clutch still slipping..

Thanks as always 29R Bloke.
Just noticed on eBay.co a guy is selling an exhaust pipe for you bike which I believe is very rare. Here is the item number on eBay. 230885335285.
Maybe he has the full bike.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Morg.

 

Already seen it and the side panels lol, he already sold the other exhaust haha, the parts are from the back of a shipping container & he's promised to be in touch if any other bits turn up! Was thinking about buying the exhausts but figured I don't need them & if someone else does why deprive them of getting their one on the road (I'd love to see another in the UK lol)

Oh, and I'm hoping to get the brochure from japan too!
Thanks for looking bud

 

only because i didn't see it mentioned in this thread earlier. did you remove BOTH drain plugs? there is the obvious one and one not so obvious at the rear of the engine more like in the tranni. just to the center of the bike from the swingarm. I think you only get about half a cup out of the 2nd one if i remember correctly but thats half a cup of gas, flush, nasty oilness your leaving in there...

 

Also...be prepared to have to split the case when the middle drain plug breaks off in the hole.

I think that it's better practice to use the front drain plug as per usual, fill with new oil, run the engine briefly, then drain and fill again.

 

I agree that it's better not to touch the middle gear plug (from personal experience) but you don't have to split the cases to get it out...just pull the engine. I had the joy of just giving it a try with the engine already out of the bike, and it was still really tough to get the easy out to reach the bolt because of the shape of the pan. But it wasn't frozen and spun off easy because it sheared easily when I was torquing it (torque specs in the book were wrong).
