Title: Hi All
Post by: pie656 on Tuesday, 08 May 2018, 06:25 AM
Hi All
Long time lurker & stealer of useful information  :)
What started off as a quick remove the forks to remove the oil cooler to replace a blowing exhaust gasket last February turned into a full strip & rebuild over last year so it's been of the road until last west week.
Just getting it settled need to adjust the rear ride height (stumpy legs) and a final bolt check & hopefully on the road.
Going on the weather last year - I didn't miss a great deal so hopefully this year will be better - just need to sort out new gear as all the current stuff shrunk over winter as it always does  :whistling:
Kind Regards
Peter

Thanks everyone
Spent today ( day off  :) ) doing some work on the other Suzuki - A burgman 400 as it needed a few jobs doing, did get chance to lower the rear & rebleed the front brakes neither of which is a nice job & then bodged the oil cooler pipe as the crimped joint had corroded, just need to decide if I replace it with original or make up braided as there's never any used ones.
Yes - it is nitrous, as mine is the 'wheelbarrow' model there's a bottle on either side  :whistling:  new chain & sprockets/clutch before it's set up though
Kind Regards
Peter
