Not sure what I could loose anything into the intake after having a look ?
Also what filter cleaner do you use ? I bought this in a kit but need some more. Back in the day I just used petrol but read its not good for the filter.

Blue loctite is medium strength, -
Red is high strength
Most of the bolts on the GS are blue loctited.

More than a passable job there, next thing you know you’ll have a hydraulic ramp in yr front room with some old shitter being re-incarnated on it.
BTW trim those zip ties and line them up or my OCD will be jittering all day.

Doc,
consider buying a torque wrench, 3/8 inch drive is best for bikes.

Don't tell him that.......he'll have bought 10 by the end of the day!
Im on it. Which one do i need. Never used one though so another thread will be needed.
I use a 3/8 drive one from the Halfords professional range. Good quality but not silly money. If you know anyone with a Halfords trade card you can get it even cheaper.Im on it. Which one do i need. Never used one though so another thread will be needed.
Remember, you can pay to much for tools as your only "home spannering" . Its not worth spending Snap on tools sort of money for home tools.
You can soon spend way to much if you don't watch out. Ive been acquiring tools since i was an Apprentice mechanic in 1978 and now my roll cabinet is way heavy.
Amongst the ESSENTIAL tools ive got is a Laser Torque wrench which use Crowfoot spanner ends, rather than a square drive.Used it once in 2008, never touched it since. A total waste of money.
So be warned, shiny tools are like a drug habit
once you start it runs away with you.
Bahco and Teng are good quality and reasonable price - as are Halfords Pro range.
Cheers a few to pick from Steve. And cheers NinI use a 3/8 drive one from the Halfords professional range. Good quality but not silly money. If you know anyone with a Halfords trade card you can get it even cheaper.

I use these and they work fine.
The ones with the ‘push through’ square drive are a pita. I much prefer this type.

Maybe a good place to start would be look at the workshop manual for your bike and see what range of Nm you will cover.Cheers a few to pick from Steve. And cheers Nin
