Thanks for the advice and directly me to the downloads really helpful having workshop manual to check on.
So slide the front wheel out backward towards the bike to avoid snagging the speedo drive?
As I have enough stud left to get a couple of nuts on will try heat and shock first, due to to location not certain i could drill dead centre and the engineer in me would go nuts about that haha
looks like the oil return pipe will need to come off especially if applying heat, is there a risk in touching this ie should I leave well alone/ clearly this will need the oil drained out?
so looking at removing seat and tank (couple of bolts turn off the tap remove hose?) draining the oil and the water.
undo do brake calipers hang up to stop flex an brake lines. Undo front axle and pinch bolts, tap out spindle ease wheel backwards to avoid damage to speedo sensor, remove mudguard undo pinch bolts and drop out forks.
radiator remove hoses undo retaining bolts drop out.
apart from obvious thing like hose clips etc have i missed anything major?
cheers
Alan
