  1. Is the rim straight?

    Can be a bit tricky getting it seated properly over the rim lock, just keep trying till you get it right. I put a nut right on the end of the rim lock to stop it vanishing back inside the rim and then push it as far in as the nut allows to get the edges of the tyre right down either side of it.

  2. A mate of mine had a couple of bikes taken from the Reeth Road area of Richmond last night approx 3.30am the police reckon. The bikes were were last seen in the Skerne park part of Darlington,(According to Police) The bikes were taken from our garage in Richmond. What the police suspect is that they have been ridden from Richmond to Darlington at approx 3:40 (First hearing / sighting) to 4:20am roughly. They were spotted and chased near croft, but took to the fields / off road.

  3. I seem to remember the price was about 7000 Euro for a full bike but i haven't checked for a while.

    Edit: I can't find the website at the moment so it might have been someone else, definately used a new GasGas though.

  4. Managed to do this myself before i got a torque wrench! It will hold while cracked, or it seemed to for a while.

    In the end i got some 2nd hand fork bottoms from a breaker. Cost about

  5. gutted for you! And very strange your mates stator worked but this rewound one doesn't. I personally always go by ohms readings with stators and they've not been wrong yet. As someone else said, the readings were closer before it got rewound! Good luck with your next bit of testing.

  6. Well it should be easy enough to do, undo the drain plug, drain it, re-fit plug and re-fill with new oil.

    A semi-synthetic for 2 stroke gear boxes should be fine. 80w? or something similar.

    I'm not sure of the specifics of how much oil or where the plug is though I'm afraid, have to leave that to the Beta boys!

    For reference I will usually change my oil every 15 hours! ^_^ (or sooner if I've been giving it some stick!)

  7. I can't find a picture of it anywhere - it was a Motion Pro stem bearing driver I think. Essentially a long tube which he used to hammer the bottom bearing into place with. A bit like a fork seal driver.

    Edit: Found a pic of a guy using a pipe. cowboy style

  8. I did it not so long ago, most of it was simple enough. The only bit I struggled with was putting the new bearing on the steering stem. I took it to my local bike shop and they used their 'special tool' to hammer it on, took them 2 minutes.
