if you pm me with e-mail details i have the manual in pdf format

what year is your bike

hi there look under your sump plate theres a small hole that has a drainage allen key bolt.take it easy when replacing bolt easly cross threaded good luck and enjoy. i think you may be confused its the bottom bolt on side casing above the sump plate behind and just below gear lever,lean the bike over to drain

thanks for the info, also :thumbup:interested in any modifications to carb or timing to help them run smoother

with vast amount of knowledge out there does anyone know how to improve the standard setup, would like to improve low end pick up and make it a bit smoother, any suggestions considered however my riding style is kind of set in stone

Will let you know when i find the reciepts, getting old and can't................remember

Any ideas, can i get new original graphics and new plastics for a 1998? it's looking tired now try SANDIFORDS, i had some 98 graphics this year, i'm sure they mentioned they had plastics as well

needle bearings turned up lunchtime day after ordering changed and all is as new, thanks to Sandifords for the quick postage looking forward to the Devonport trial sunday

when did you last replace the barings to be honest i havent in over two years, suppose ive had a good run for me money thanks infor all the info guys

For anyone who is interested i found the needle bearing's on the dog bone link and swing arm link have worn, there is a bearing number somewhere within this forum but found it too late to save any real cash, however parts coming from sandifords so hope to ride at the weekend cheers

thanks for the info, i have removed the upper rear shock bolt and can't find any play in the swinging arm, i can move the shock from side to side quite freely, but thought this would be as designed, without stripping down dog bone and Y link can't seem to find anything wrong anybody had the same problem, also rear wheel has very slight lateral movement i guess this is the wheel bearing???

I understand this has been discussed before, however on my 98 cota my vertical movement has dramatically increased in a few weeks, well one trial and a day practicing, i'm not into big obstacles just novice stuff, I can now move the arm (when the wheel is off the ground) about an inch at the furthest point (wheel end), i will be stripping it down but wondered if any one has any pre-stripping ideas

i am said father with three kids and i would be willing to pay say fifteen to twenty pounds for a really good venue or for my club to purchase some land for practice and competitions, but if clubs charge more than the usual then they need to explained why

i think they are the same thing, white on the inside, black cloth on the outside, any way they are pretty dam good

i have to agree, i have the stone 2 and fits like a glove, i had alpine stars before them and didn,t like at all, only thing with any boot ditch the liner and wear gortex socks, they are a military item but should be able to get them on ebay
