Got a breaker bar too then specifically "at least a foot long"
Edit to add: it's 18"

Good stuff, they're an essential tool imo.

Not quite essential as a lump hammer for smashin the shit out of stuff!

no worries. Glad you're all sorted.

Just take it easy on it for the first 100 miles or so and slowly increase lean angles.

Wheels back on the bike, torqued up and all done. Thanks for all the help guys

mmmmmmmm fresh tyres!! Go easy for a bit, til the shine goes off them - and even more so in the wet!

That's the plan, sign on the guys wall said 100 miles and don't count wet miles. I don't think I can really push my tyres anyway, I cant jam on full throttle due to flooding the engine so no problem with sudden power on these whilst leant over.

Strangely he said 36psi for these tyres? Should I go off this or the Hayne's manual?

Thats a bloody good plug repair Ben - he's made them look like new


Oh and for a good 18" or 24" breaker bar. You will be glad many times over int he future taht you bought one

To be honest I remembered something in the MOT advisory about tyres being close to legal limit but I've just checked the certificate and it says front tyre! Doh!
