It wasn't too cold today, fortunately ,but I had a big stone pier to build for my brother in law and didn't get done till two this afternoon, so with no leccy I had to get a wriggle on...
It was fiddly. Bloody fiddly. Spent more time scratching my head and looking at it than I did spannering. Does it come out this side, that side, from the top, have I gotta take the radiator off etc..that sorta thing. It came out the top, having cut several cable ties and moved wires an that about, but it was tight, I'm talkingĀ another coat of paint on the frame and it wouldn't have come out tight lol.
Took me two hours, but it's one of them jobs that if I did it again it would take 30-45 minutes because I'd know what I was doing next time around. As long as the bike, like mine, didn't still have the AIS fitted.....
I knew I was onto a winner when I got the old one out, I couldn't turn it by hand at all had to get pliers on it to make it move, whereas the second hand spare I can turn fairly easy by hand.
Took it out for a short run to check it was ok and ended up doing the Wye valley in the dark and cold, it was brilliant. I'd forgotten how good a thou with everything working properly is. I know the exup v exup removed argument will go on forever, but perhaps it's bike specific, I certainly wouldn't be without mine, Low down flexibility counts for a helluva lot this time of year :-)
Glad I could help mate!
