Re: 1990 Clutch noise?
Can’t make out from video
Is the basket loose on the shaft as it’s splined internally

Exup freak or creed may know more ...

Had a busy day working on bike today. Started off by collecting a recently purchased headstock stand from Buxton then had to make a pin as the std fitments made the stand hit the underside of the top cowl. Not good!

Re: ……And here we go
It took about 15 seconds on the button but it fired up and sounded great.
I’ve removed the tank, dropped the bowls off and cleaned them out. I’m just waiting for new bowl gaskets to arrive to be able to reassemble
I’ve ordered a clutch slave rebuild kit too as that has leaked. If the kit doesn’t ...

Re: ……And here we go
Box is actually empty 
BUT, battery is on charge for a first charge when filled
And no, I’ve not found the bike yet. That’s the next task

Re: Top nut rear shock
Happy New Year Karl
Good to see you around the place. What bike do you have now?
The Irwin nut removers are really good. I’ve used them many times on various projects so should do the job

Re: Rear Tire size options
My bike has always had 180/55 on rear. Always handled ok for me so stuck with it
Narrower tyre may help it tip in easier depending on the profile

Re: compatible paddock stands
I personally use an ABBA style stand that I made years ago. This allows both front and rear to be off the ground at the same time if required ( plans available on main site)
