Brake calipers cleaned and ready for refitting...
Quote from: adeejaysdelight on 23 January 2012, 05:06:31 pmBrake calipers cleaned and ready for refitting... I done it in 4 staps, no problems at all. Quite theraputic actually. 1. Engine de-geaser foam and toothbrush, rinse, do it again.2. Brake cleaner, spray.3. A right good skoosh of proclean oil or another rust inhibiter oil, like WD40 or duck oil. Let it soften any remaining dirt and get the tootbrush in again. 4. Rins off and oil again. Job done.Exactly what I was doing at the week end!! Even robbed the sonic toothbrush to get in the nooks and crannies... our lass couldnt help notice her tooth brush tasted a little funny that evening , but it did an excellent job especially in those blue spots and around the pistons... Did you have any trouble cleaning around the pistons?
Think ill do that might as well,makes life easier. thanx adeejaysdelight.

I cleaned the calipers in a 4 stage process.Yeah, take it off mate. Takes 5 minutes and you won't scratch it. Well worth it
Update - I done the fork oil today, and made an arse of it. Explanation... There are two washers, one with a hole and one without. The one without goes on top. I, like a total idiot, reassembled the forks with them in the wrong order. I put them back on the bike, locked up the garage and came in the house. It was in the shower I had my "eureka" moment, and realised that I have wasted my day and my new oil. So, let's look at the positives...This being my first go, I now know how NOT to do it. Also, the forks and all those components are getting the royal treatment as the new oil will be flushed out and replaced in a couple of days, this time with better stuff. It only seems right I put up the good with the bad here, and hopefully I can save someone making the same mistake as myself.
http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?action=downloads;cat=1i got my manual from here mate:)if not i have another in pdf format let me know n il see what i can do.
Cheers for that moterbreath. Any idea where I can acquire said manual from the old interwagon?
I re-done the forks today, as I made a pig's ear of it during the week. This time I used shell advanced 15w oil, which feels very nice. They feel as if there is quite a bit more resistance than the standard 10w. I will have to wait to get on the road though. I seem to have lost my white grease. Does anyone know if copper grease can be used on axle rod's? I have not relubed the shaft yet (tee hee hee), so I want to check first. I also finished painting the radiator. I had already done the sides and piping, but the fins had quite a bit of pitting. So I gave them a double coat of black engine spray paint. Came up ok, and a definite improvement. Motorbreath - The spacer, number 3 in the picture, is 183mm. I forgot to measure the spring, sorry mate. But I'm not sure if they are original or not.
