Gaunt / Jefferies Honda
Are the forks parallel to the head stock ? They are frequently at least 1.5° rake. New / different yokes to achieve parallel might be a quicker and cheaper alternative.

Try Simply Supplements for heavier doses. Turmeric with black pepper is supposed to be easier for the body to absorbe.

Down and back pegs and a few other TLR noob questions - Reflex
're 390 / 400 mm shocks, although only a marginal difference, shorter shocks will negatively affect the steering . My "personal" experience with moving footrest back 50mm resulted in a 40% increase in spring weight from 50 to 70 lbs.

Down and back pegs and a few other TLR noob questions - Reflex
The angle of the shocks affects the leverage ratio, so bare that in mind when specifying spring rate. Moving footrests back will also require heavier springs. Too soft springs will result in the back end squating and affect your steering, in a bad way. MT43's are a great trail tyre, but a shocking trials one, completely worn out IRC's/ mitchelins are still better than brand new MT's ....

oil change
I think the hex nut is the kickstart spring locator, nothing good comes from undoing it 😂

oil change
Have a look on motoswm for engine manuals, can't remember if there is one for the climber, but the bottom end is the same as swm 's. On the bottom of the engine there is an alan key plug, remove to drain oil. Clean the magnet. (Do NOT undo the hex nut) Refill with 1 litre of ATF . Use some super expensive oil if you prefer.
