Re: Still getting vibration on TS1 225

Celt, if I was you I'd get the crank checked independently, that way there'd be no room for this :? and loads of this :D . Mel k, I did get it checked first, just wanted a second check by the supplier (MBD) who said that he has a jig made up for the purpose of checking crank alignment. I have an en...

Re: Still getting vibration on TS1 225

Richie, is it better, or worse, when it's fully loaded with luggage? Maybe an idea to change or move the mounts whilst it's in bits anyway? Maybe also rebuild it all with someone else, just in case they can see something which you are blind to :idea: Hope you find it Paul Paul mate It wasn't the sc...

Re: Still getting vibration on TS1 225

Still getting vibration on TS1 225

On the old site I mentioned I was getting bad vibration After twisting camlam crank awhile back, I replaced crank with MB Alpha crank and lightened flywheel (2kg).

I'm having trouble with brake binding. Found the slave unit to be slightly rusted, after polishing some rust areas were pitted. I greased the slave unit (not sure if I should) but still getting binding. It seems that the piston is not returning enough. I also dont know what motorcycle it's from to g...

Clinder head gasket sealent

Does anyone recommend a good cyl gasket sealant?

I have a skimmed and lapped head, I've used a small smear of Hylomar universal blue in the past but have run out.

Is there a decent alternative?
