Crank shaft seal, fitted in crankcase behind the flywheel.

Worth checking crank seal - flywheel side - for air leak. Can give similar symptoms.

clic clips, pliers on ebay for £7-8 see item No 162877002823 as an example.

Only my opinion but, you don't use decompressor for starting on 2/S. Used to give a bit of engine braking on the downhills and avoid stalling due to using too much rear brake. Not the same as using one on a 4/S to aid easing over the top of comp stroke before kicking.

Best of luck with that. I too just needed the rubber seal and was forced to buy the top as well - about £20 for what should have been about 10 bob for the rubber! The rubber in my opinion should not have swolen like it did on a late (2015) bike - it looked just like what happens if you put DOT4 seals in mineral oil so I don't think the rubber used is correct for the job - a possible safety issue that should be addressed by the manufacturers. I have stripped a lot of 30yr old Nissin (and 15yr old Grimeca) mastercylinders and never experienced this. Needelss to say I don't think much of this Braktec stuff.

As long as you have no air (vacuum) leak on the main tank, the aux tank should empty first then the main tank.

Can't believe you're not able to fit a front wheel - best stick to welding or messing with old Armstrongs!!

Just get fed up of seeing muppets spouting misinformation on forums. Also to be legal on the road (C&U regs) a speedometer is required.....................

I think you will find (in the manual) that only unregistered bikes are exempt from displaying a (correct) numberplate. A battery horn that emits a constant,continuous,uniform and audiable note cannot be failed unless considered harsh or grating........... My advice - read the book and challenge the tester and or appeal the test if necessary.

The tester was wrong, he needs to read the testers manual. It is availible for all to read on the gov.uk website. m1i00000001.1.0a - mot-inspection-manual-classes-1-2.pdf

No reflector required.

try this one http://www.thehornit.com/the-hornit-db140/the-hornit-db140.html they are great and legal

If it's a 1896 model it should be in a museum! :-)

Looks like the all balls kit only contains one spherical bearing, not two. Is that the case?

Have you changed the spherical bearings in the shock?

Not mine madmostin, but one of the ones (along with Valter Ponzo's) that inspired me to make one. Great bike - better than standard 315 and easier to ride than 4RT in my humble opinion - and I own both. Will try and find photo of mine to post.

Nicely modified 4RT

Will only work on later 315's with inboard rear disc. If earlier 315 you will need to use wheel and brake assy from 4RT as well. Unless you mean you want to use a 315 arm to go in a 4RT in which case you will need an arm from a late 315 (inboard disc caliper type) Hope that makes sense...

Not original I know, but my solution to this problem.
