I recently found out that my dealer got all kinds of weird answers + prices.

Thanks for the info Pete. Strange that you should have to cut down the spanner from new to get it to fit. Small question about the spanner - which end fits the plug? The big end or the smaller one? Thought I'd ask before I got busy with the hacksaw & drill :icon_clown:

Thanks to all reference the cush drive rubbers - I've already packed it out ala the mod, and it all seems tight after a test drive. Maybe the dealer will see the sense and offer to pay for the replacements. I'll not hold my breath though.

Knobblies already in the garage, off of the Alp. Thought I'd wear down the Siracs a bit more first, before changing tyres.
Your mucker rolled past the house this afternoon, just as I was sorting the Alp out for youngest son to ride it away. Drive looked like a dealers lot - Tenere sitting to one side, F650 sitting opposite and the Alp getting fettled in between them.

Some day soon we'll get out together.

Aye just give me a shout.

Ha ha. It just clicked. I did see bikes in a drive but didna think much off it. I didna ken where you bided. Next time I'll stop in by. I was doing a 'avoid the traffic' run on the back roads. :smilies1349:

The end you need to keep is the one with an internal measurement of 16mm from flat-to-flat. I cant remember what the other end looked like, so i dont know if thats the big end or the small one.

I cut mine down to 70mm long and drilled a new hole for the lever bar to go through, in reality it would be better cut down to 90mm or thereabouts.

Pete.

Thanks for the info Pete. Hacksaw & drill out tonight then :thumbsup:
