Just removed tank....

[Dick Dastardly]

....and i'm well happy with myself.

OK, it's not like i stripped the clutch or anything, but a nice sense of acheivement to a learner spanner-man like myself. Came in for a nice cuppa only to read that i really should have fitted some QD's whilst i had it off.. , so i guess i'll have to have a re-run soon enough.

Just a word of encouragement to all those out there who doubt their own ability with the spanners....as Nike say: "Just do it...."

Nope - one the 1100 it's captive, and on the Adv it's a gripper, so you just finger tight it till it grips then do up the allen bolt - no spanner required.

You made sure that both the plastic spacers on the tank locating lug were still in place -

Not to worry - that just means that you have the model chassis numbers with the failing final drives and chocolate bottom bearings.
