I'll get some SES on pay day then. Is there an easier way to get the front sprocket cover off. I removed the water pump to get the cover off. The coolant had to be replaced so not a problem this time. So just wondering if you can get it out without removing the water pump. Not too bad inside. Not much to clean up Power commander fitted, just need to download a map for the time being. Then get it on the dyno in a few months. Don't worry I will tidy up the wiring
no need to take water pump off at all. there is a guide plate between the cover and its locating bolt holes. bring the cover off minus the guide plate. dead easy, just done mine. hope this helps for the future
+1. It definitely comes off just by moving the hydraulic clutch mech. out of the way and by lifting the sprocket cover out from above.
Hi bud you will love the RR 6 on track I used mine for 3 years on standard suspension I used to go well on it im a lockwiring freak now ha ha
Using the R clips looks like it makes things easier lock wiring. I've got the HRC oil filler and sump plug which are pre drilled. I don't mind drilling stuff on customers cars but when it's my own I hate it lol. I've got to drill the swingarm later for the shark fin That's good about the standard suspension. I've been on the look out for an ohlins shock but I should be alright on the standard shock then.
If your using on track lock wire the sprocket too also cut away the centre of the sprocket cover it allows you to see alls ok and to change the gearbox sprocket without removing the cover and also some engine and ankle protection if the chain snaps.
Got a problem with the exhaust baffle. The bolt is just spinning! The angle at which the bolt goes in makes sorting it awkward and the bolt is quite long. So any ideas? I need the baffle in for Mallory on the 14th feb. It's a micron exhaust btw. It's corroded up in there aswell.
If you can run a tap down the hole then maybe it will clean the thread out, as it's more than likely that which is causing it not to tighten up. Depends what angle it is at though if you can even get in there I'm afraid.
Cheers Martin! Luckily I've still got the stock exhaust in my garage. Don't really want to fit it if I can help it.
Other thing that sometimes works is if you add a larger chamfer to the bolt and add a little oil to it, to help it locate inside the nut. The chamfer sometimes helps push the rust out of the back of the nut. Also just make sure it's definitely the correct size bolt you are using. I know it sounds daft, but I've seen it happen many a time.
I've never fitted/seen the baffle it since I bought the bike in 2012. The bolt was taped to the baffle. I'll try the above tomorrow, cheers.
