I can get to about .001mm tdc with my dipstick.
It should have been mentioned in the manual.
For anyone who wants to get within .001mm of tdc.
I usually give my tank roundals a polish when working to those tolerances.

Origin seals? I can't remember if you said. You'll need to booger them to get the top hat and bearing out. The rubber ones can let the top hat out but it's not ideal. How do they feel an the axle? Remember these bearings are supposed to do umpteen billions of miles. :mrgreen: You might be a billion ...

I used to be a trainee locomotive driver, have driven a steam train, and killed a 247 crank.

Maybe Airbear or ME109 know about this specialist? Unknown to me, and I'd say not known to Charlie either. When my oil filter bypass spring broke and eventually took out the rear crank journal, Nick Ploeg from NZ kindly sent a very nice s/hand crank to me. I've not heard of many successful crank re...

I notice the cafe crowd are now all on to the benefits of an oil cooler on a naked bike. It's a got to have item.
It wouldn't be too bad if they weren't all such a bunch of pretentious wankers. Lol.
The bike wouldn't even get to operating temp before being parked for the static display.

We might need to shorten the forward planning to like two bloody weeks! Try and get in between the frequent lock downs.
What happens when there's equal cases on both sides of the border?

About time someone posted in motorcycling on Boxerworks.
Do we know where we're going yet, Steve? Still Darlington Point? Doesn't really matter I spose.
