It's the useless type. Screw in. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130969665378 See the long gold bit on the hose? Well it's a 14mm type, needs the biggest adaptor on it to fit, so now there's a giant gold pole on the end of the tube, which won't fit under the frame to allow it to be screwed in, ridiculous.

Has anyone used the draper compression tester before? It doesn't actually seem to fit under the frame to use it...

Cheers, doesn't seem like a bad idea actually, I think it would be a last resort. Luckily it seems you can buy anything online nowdays: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150695106030

After a little investigating I believe the o-ring between the 2 halves of the caliper has failed after a recent overhaul of the caliper. Anyone know where I can get a suitable replacement? I believe yamaha doesn't do one but there must be something similar out there?

Brake fluid is coming through... but I've got a problem with almost no pressure on one side of the caliper...

Replaced my rear brake line, attached the caliper, bled the MC, bled one side of the caliper, went to bleed the other side/nipple but not getting any pressure? Does this mean the caliper piston seals are busted?

Ye, obviously if the cams are out then the marks just need to be lined up, then put the cams in the correct way up ;)

Just make sure the mark on the generator lines up with the crankcase. Also...make sure you're not 180 out, pop a long screwdriver down cylinder 1 to make sure its at the top if you need to check.

If you check here: http://piaggiospares.co.uk/spares/partImage.asp?GPN=741.21.25&uid=0 they do DID or borger camchains depending on what's available, I'm sure you could ask specifically for a DID chain if that's what you want.

and how the hell are you supposed to press the master link on a camchain? My riveter/breaker only came with press plates for a drive chain!

What's the best way of attaching an old camchain to a new one temporarily so I can feed the new one through?

Update: Got pissed off and thought fuck it, if it breaks, it breaks and turned the crank as hard as I could and the chain came loose! However, this is what i'm now left with:


The two links are completely stuck, any tricks or tips to unfusing them? If not I might just get a new timing chain due to the stress I've put this one under by now.

had a look down there, couldnt see much, pulled the barrels up a bit, still couldnt see anything, took barrels off and it appears the timing chain has doubled over itself. At the point where its longest, theres just two links doubled over themselves, but are caught underneath the crankshaft! I'll keep pulling and rocking the crankshaft, but if it comes to it, does anyone know if I can get decent access to it if i remove the sump?

Sounds like a very good plan Gnasher, will give it a go in the morning

It's definitely caught on something, doesnt seem to wanna come loose, no idea what it could be caught on either, really dont wanna have to take the barrels off again!

Success! Just took patience, although I've hit a snag. The timing chain got a fair bit of slack on it at one point and now isnt turning with the crankshaft. Thatd be fine because it just means ive got to get it back on the cog but when i turn over the engine, one side of the timing chain gets pulled in and the other doesnt move. I'm very confused.

I've managed to get pistons 2 and 3 in by hand, struggling a bit with piston 4, feelers sound like a good idea, gonna go try it now, cheers!

If you figure out how to fix the tacho sticking at 5k, i'd be grateful if you let me know =) I'm presuming it's a dodgy connection which puts the tacho in TPS position mode but I've not been able to fix mine.

Test the battery with a multimeter to see if it's busted
