Re: t5 front roller bearing
I have previosly changed the large bearing under the circlip but at the mot I was told I still had play when the tester rocked the front wheel so I thought it must be wear in the roller bearing

Re: t5 blue smoke
sorry for not explaining properly...the carb is a spaco 26. the main jet was made up of top 120, middle be4 and bottom 120, which was changed to top 160 middle be4 and bottom 112 . I dont know the exact names of each part so I just called it the top carb jet meaning the top piece.
