Re: wheel stud b@5t@rd

Soak the stud with diesel or wd40 cut a slot in the head, with a dremel. Impact driver and good fitting screw driver blade, bang and out she comes!

Re: LI Light Switch Housing Removal

Soaking in diesel works best, be careful if using a flame to heat up metal alloy melts quicker than you think. :cry: IMO heat gun is much safer bet! ;)

Re: Under the crankcase cover.

:D Everythings great! Fully working kickstart, replaced the cheap indian clutch plates, found the top legs of the inner bell had a rag on them, :o dremelled this off, :roll: assembled the clutch, checking that each plate was free from burrs and that they moved freely. Case on four nuts just to check...

Re: Under the crankcase cover.

Thanks for the replies guys,

New Indian clutch coming out then and replace again with something else, wine bottle corks eh? at least that way I can have some fun emptying the bottles!

Re: Kickstart slipping...Bristolmod.

Pin was replaced and yes grooved,
Kickstart I now know is fine, the problem is elsewhere.

Under the crankcase cover.

This one remains a puzzle, after my first posting of Kickstart Slipping, (which you may have to read for this to make sense.) ;) from the feedback given I can now confirm that all is 99.9% correct and working without any issues. But get this guys, I didn't find anything wrong, but did take everyone ...
