I don't mind coming up on Saturday or Sunday for a few hours if your stuck. I've done an 1150 clutch and can't be that much difference apart from the cable. Let me know your plans and I'll see what i can do.

I'm sure it will when you do it on someone else's bike though

Couple of kegs and a bottle of that German stuff should get the job done..

If you give us a pm with directions I'll confirm later in the week. You obviously got the exhaust off then? Bacon butties would more than suffice.

Now THAT'S what this place is all about.

I mean, where else would you get such a superb picture of a gorgeous lass with some stupendous jugs?

And you thought I meant some decent soul trekking two hours and a bit to change another GSer's clutch!

Don't forget what I said- do not exceed 25mph for the first 3000 miles just in case we, sorry, you forgot to tighten something up!

Oh bugger does that invalidate your warranty then .
Well if fixed that right hand throttle cable and took it a wee run its far far better can ride it now lol.
I’ll see about getting it balanced on Monday.

Job done

Uh oh.....

I went into Tescos yesterday evening.

At the far end of the car park was a lonely looking GS with (presumably) its' owner laid on the tarmac next to it.

As I approached I was wondering what reason the rider would have to do such a thing. I came up with a few possibilities:

• It was an intrepid round-the-worlder who was so Hard he merely laid down next to his bike to have a sleep.
• It was an intrepid round-the-worlder who had collapsed through exhaustion.
• It was an intrepid round-the-worlder who couldn't go on and had shot himself
• Scottishbmwbiker had rebuilt his clutch only to have the fecker break down on him the first time he took it out.

Guess which one?

 

[Scottishbmwbiker]

Ok ok I did'nt fit the throttle cable right...

But it did look like a good place for a snooze

Was up your way about 30 min ago few 800gs about you breading them now ?
