All be it last week but no point posting without a test.

I fitted an Oberon Clutch Slave Cylinder. The difference to stock is quite remarkable, now as light as my CBF 125 to operate but the engagement is over a longer span of lever movement. This makes it far more controllable, removing the need to over rev to stop it stalling in slow speed maneuvers.
 

I did my front Cam Chain Tensioner today and took a few photos to show what I did. This is not the full sequence as that has already been done but simply my tips on achieving chain karma.

Here I have split some of the harness connections and used a luggage strap to hold the rest of the harness out of the way. The luggage strap you see coming out of the frame to the rear is holding the famous coolant hose out of the way, you do not have to remove it.

Here you see the problem with the coolant hose, it covers the lower CCT bolt and flange.

Here you see the effect of the luggage strap pulling the hose out of the way. This give free access to the CCT. I used 1/4" drive sockets to access the bolts and forceps/pliers to manipulate the CCT key. Once the bolts are undone the CCT can be withdrawn and replaced quite easily. Being a bit lazy I did not remove the tank and was completed without any awkward nastiness.

It is a thing of great beauty, an expression of the builders passion, his very soul.

I look upon those pictures and my mind is overwhelmed by one thought, what sort of dick head does that to a perfectly good motorcycle.

As small as the chance is, I see the aluminium as having a greater mass, increased inertia and less shock absorbancy equalling loose sprocket nut.

Under my point of view steel, because is ferromagneic material ;)

Yeah, Aluminum (Al - u - min - i - um to you Brits) isn't magnetic is it?

:laugh:

Mine arrived today, hands across the sea.

Hurray, mine are in Chicago, only another 5000 miles to go.

I'll have a set as well please, obviously will pay the extra postage.

:wheel:

I looked at that picture for 5 minutes before I finnally figured out that the Coil wire was NOT connected to the radiator! For the life of me I just could not figure out why in the world would a coil wire would be connected to the fan switch? Look closer my friend its NOT :unsure:

Sorted for you.
