Hi All.
I dont suppose you happen to know the size of the C spanner I need for adjusting the head bearings do you you ??
Thanks in advance
S.
I'm not sure of the size
are you really sure they need adjusting .
I've never had to at double and higher mileages than your bikes done.

Speedy, small hammer n punch work perfectly. spring balance to measure load needed. in the manual, i cant rem. tension off top of my head. just a few bucks from e bay. mine has lasted forever, also good to check luggage weight for planes. head brgs last a long time, renew grease not a bad idea.
Thanks Grog.
I have bought a nice 0 - 2kg spring balance which seems nice and sensitive.
The service manual does suggest checking the settings every so often as you know.
Thank you for the tip with the punch..
I used that method on the MT-01 I used to own.
Thanks again mate.
