R80GS Oil Change

So what happens when the wind speed increases during the flight? Does the poor pilot just have to go round in circles until the wind speed drops or the fuel runs out?
You go somewhere else.
 
And I’d hate to see you land a 787 in a 40 knot crosswind in the middle of the night.....:-)

That would scare the shit out of anyone who’s not tried it before.

Gear lever. If part 7 isn’t long enough you need to buy a longer one. The brake is trickier; you may need to heat up and bend it or get a new foot brake lever.

So is there zero adjustment in the lever itself ?

The gear lever on the gearbox isn't adjustable - it has a 'Vee' notch inside so could fit 180 degrees out I suppose.

You will need to adjust the length of the link rod (item 7) to alter the pedal position as previously advised.

Keep persevering - you'll get there :thumb.

Just spoke to Motorworks and they do a link rod that is 101mm.
I’ll measure when I get home but that might work .
Need to sort the brake lever though .
Is there a swop for a different one and if so where from ?
Motorworks had no idea .
Ta again peeps.
 
can you not lower the level of the brake pedal by lengthening the lock-stop bolt at the back of it and adjusting the wing nut adjuster on the cable end to suit? I know the brake light switch is also in that area so not sure what affect that will have, not at my bike just now to check.

Just done exactly that . Can only lower it so much otherwise it bangs the frame but it’s ok .
Sorted the gear lever .
My clever mate had a threaded rod which we cut so about 25cm longer than the original . Then heat shrinked some plastic tube to hide the threads . Looks fine to me

Saves me spending £33 at Motorworks!!

So I’m all sorted . Thanks to all .
Pegs are so much better than the originals which were too high but also too short and narrow .

I have a small sponge on top of mine while in the garage as I’ve lost too many bits of shin on those same teeth
