Using a torque wrench and wanting to know the settings just gives the impression of being a professional. |

I doubt its much of an issue but I did see weird 'burn' marks when I moved from 35w to 45w bulbs on my Varadero.
Is looking good, the bastard is good also. |

Just for Fisty.

Hit a bit of an impass today. I couldn't get the sump plug undone with any of the tools I have here.
I have a 24mm ring spanner but the nut really needs a socket, specifically and to avoid any further damage
to the nut, a six sided one. Which I have just ordered. Brake shoes are here now but I'll wait for the socket to arrive and
do both jobs at the same time. Annoyingly I didn't realise I didn't have a socket large enough until I had done a quick 6
miles on the bike to warm the oil ready for changing. But at least had the opportunity to road test the front brakes which are
working fine now. So that's something at least. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I never used it on the bike, there wasn't room anyway. But it's very useful when I'm plumbing, which I do far more often
than tinkering with mechanics. I only had them out briefly as I couldn't remember where these were.

But as you can see, I found them. The nut was already slightly rounded before I had even touched it. Honest! ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I have a larger one than that, great for doing basin waste nuts. And there's also a smaller one in the same pic
if you look closely. But I never used either in this instance, there wasn't room to get it on the nut and turn it in any
case, the frame was in the way. The 24mm ring spanner felt slightly too big to be honest, but I certainly don't have
a 23mm one. The 24mm hex socket will be here in a day or two hopefully and I can carry on then. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I'm going by this video here as I want to make sure the gauze thing is cleaned out.
Just been outside in my pants to get a quick pic.

The 24mm ring spanner slipped off the nut through lack of space causing that shiny bit, as you tried to turn it the frame
sort of guided it off the nut again. A 1/2 inch drive 24mm hex socket. should be safer for the nut. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

The sump nuts on these are made of cheese. They always seize themselves in too regardless of how often you change the oil.
There's also a filter you can change on the RHS where you top the oil up. Involves taking the casing off and replacing the gasket after.
Personally haven't done this in over 35k miles ____________________ Rides: Honda XR 125 ('03) Honda CBR 600F ('91), Ducati 916 Biposto ('95) |
