Having a good look  round my newly acquired Gen 1 and one of the bolts holding the Exup cover is sheared  :'( .  Can anyone tell me the depth of the hole and the bolt size. I'm a bit reticent to take out the other 2 as it is working fine, though will have to at some point. Is there a standard way of bolt removal, ie heating up the casing and regular applications of WD 40, or is down to luck, I know this has been covered a few times but there may be a standard way now.
Cheers

Anyone having a flutter today?


What's your choice?

Hi guys,

I've noticed of late that there appears to be a rattle when in neutral.  Disappears when I pull in the clutch but is there when released.  Also, sounds a bit like I have a nest of starlings in the gearbox when moving/accelerating!

Any idea's fellow Foccers?

I went out for a ride today and on the way home the speedo needle started waving around randomly, only slightly to begin with but by the time I got back it was thrashing about all over the place. When I checked it, the cable had been rubbing on the disc and had worn through to expose a tiny patch of wire that was shorting out on the disc, so I've rerouted it and I'm going to have to sort it properly tomorrow. I'll wrap some insulating tape round it for the time being but has anyone got any ideas for a more permanent repair without replacing the cable?

Hi all,  to those of you that have fitted after market end cans, which cans allow the center stand to be retained. Cheers.

Evening

Much to my chagrin, I only just discovered that the bloody rear hose has been rubbing on the rear wheel and needs replacing asap.

Does any one have a stock rear hose or a black covered braised hose.

many thanks
