Took my front off for the first time last week , lift the front end ( I used paving slabs under the exhaust ) , remove the hose holder bolts , remove the caliper bolts ,swing the calipers out the way ( goes without saying don't squeeze the brake lever ), remove the pinch bolt , undo the axle( had to use my long wrench for this ) remove axle , remove wheel , remove collars from wheel( didn't want them falling out whilst transporting wheel ) and put on axle then refit axle

Anyway they were too busy to whip the wheel off for me to look & i now cant get a 15mile lift back tomorrow so that i can drop it off to them.
So foc it i'll have a first attempt at taking my front wheel off in the garden & hopefully not have any dramas & have a look myself.
I also focced about with suspension settings...found my optimum for twisty roads.....3 from top on the rear spring & 5 rings showing on the front fork adjusters....or hard & soft which i find a strange combination........but it works. 8)
Also found out my Rosso 2 rear is now not MOT passable.....after an absolute max of 2500 miles...wont be buying them again thank you very much.
