Re: Rear wheel bearings
Ah; another thing learned today is that it DOES matter which way you put in the long spacer between the bearings! :oops: Yep, been there done that. Not sure the if the 1000 is the exactly the same but yes the orientation of the long is critical. I'll get there eventually, though may find it hard to...

Re: The rusty work hoss.
Coming along nicely - plenty of copper slip & ACF50 bought?
I used a set of those renthal grips and they wear well if a little 'hard' on the hands. I only realised this when I replaced them with some Dominos.

Re: The rusty work hoss.
on this photo where the exhaust bolts up to the head, chunk of aluminium missing? is that right? Where the gasket sits or has it been shedding its own weight? Yep, there is a chuck of aluminium missing :o But I reckon there is sufficient left for it to be OK :nod: Be careful when buying the compres...

Re: The rusty work hoss.
How do you find this stuff andy? Do you have a catalogue of italian bik shops? :D I've used this place before, for a replacement oil cooler, so I know they have broken Raptors about the place. They can't be the most in demand parts & 25 euros strikes me as a bit of a bargain. They may well have...

Re: The rusty work hoss.
Hurrah - some progress at least. Onwards & upwards. Most importantly, the castle nut.. but it is seized onto the thread,i am not sure if that matters? Can i just bung it back in as is or does it need to go on after the threaded part? You can just bung it back in but you're gonna loose any abilit...

Re: The rusty work hoss.
Rs, seized stuff is a right royal 'kin pain. I've always used Plusgas for seized stuff and ACF 50 is surprising good with the rusted stuff. All require patience mind, application & tap, tap, tap and leave (overnight). Daily repeat until the weekend and try after heat. Repeat for the next week. T...

Re: Front sprocket nut raptor 1000
Yep, those are the ones I've just fitted over Christmas. Sprockets are a bit plain (steel) compared to the fancy aluminium Renthals I've normally used but the chain is at least from a big name manufacturer. The free chain tool is a little fiddly but worked reasonably well. We'll have to wait for a r...

Re: Front sprocket nut raptor 1000
Ah, Lidl middle aisle mains gun for me. Nice bit a torque and for the few times I need one it'salways been just the job.I was doing exactly this +1st gear, but the 10 year old 18v Snap on gun appears to be past its best.
Just don't use it on the footrest hanger hex bolts though... don't ask

Re: Clutch adjustment
Ooo-er - I though mine was bad!! BTW the seal is an easy if finicky replacement and pretty cheap. If you do it you'd be best to replace the large retaining plate that goes around the output shaft as well. From what I remember you have to remove the alternator cover as well. I'm must admit I'm the ro...

Re: Front sprocket nut raptor 1000
Normal thread - when I've done mine I wrap a crowbar in a towel pass it through the rear wheel and lock it with the spokes/swingarm.
Quick brapp with the rattle gun and off it comes.

Re: Happy New Year!
Very nice - eee I bet you're all excited Tommy. Not long to wait now
And if the valve arrangement is the same as on my old bevel then you better get a 0.0 feeler gauge for adjusting the closing clearances....
