Just lobbed a 2010 Michelin off the front of mine. Never gave me a problem and actually wasn’t worn out, needed a new rear and went to a different brand.
Bike spends most of its time under a cover in the garage so minimal UV exposure.
Just for information rather than an endorsement for 11 year old tyres 😂

I’d be inclined to get the calliper off and cut the pads off the pin. Hacksaw or dremel etc. Then try and turn the pin with some mole grips. Maybe a bit of heat needed too.

Sounds like an air leak somewhere.

Bit of heat often proves helpful.

Maybe cut the spacer in half and put the worn bit in the middle? And check the sprocket carrier bearing too.

Some Suzuki’s come with them. SV650 if I recall correctly.

I’ve heard these work OK http://www.loobman.co.uk/
Might actually be cheaper than the DIY method.
I bought one of these, which turned up a few days ago, and had no chance of really having a go at fitting it yet.
But i must say, the instructions are like something you'd see on Wallace & Gromit.
I'm sure it's probably as simple as anything once everything is in place, but when i first looked at it i was wondering if i had been given the first draft.

I went with the Triumph springs due to costs. They were quite firm but as you’re heavier they may be OK 😬

The oil quantity is fairly irrelevant but a litre suffices for both legs. The air gap is the way to set the quantity. I used a thin metal rod with a piece of tape round it and measure from the top of the outer tube down to the oil. Needs to be bled by pumping up and down to remove all air first. There’s a procedure in the service manual that describes it.

Hardly any Mr Plod on the roads but personally I’d stick with standard size. Not really worth the aggro of being stopped for it in my opinion.

Maybe it had an airlock?
The cam chain tensioner might be on the verge of needing another click. Sometimes an Italian tune up can help it on its way 😀

If it’s got non standard bars then some people cut off the locating tab rather than drill the new bars. Not a route I’d take myself!
But you might need to remove the switch gear and wrap some electrical tape round the bar which should hold it.

Just bypass the side stand switch and leave it down 😀

Some places are now charging £25 a wheel, that was the price a friend of mine got recently.

Their service is usually excellent, next day delivery on most stuff.

Not suggesting I’d do such a thing but instead of cutting up, rope around the tyre to fold in half and it will fit in the black bin....

I think there is one friction plate that is thicker than the rest. Have they gone back in the right order?

Maybe I should start a new thread but does anyone have a reference for a suitable paint for the black swinging arm on an FZS1000 2003?

LED auxiliary spot lights will probably be the best way to go. They give out a good amount of light and are not overly expensive if funds are tight.
