Hi MartinP

Just checked and no they dont include the seals. (bugger)!

**Masher** · 22 Apr 08, 01:06 PM

Ordered the seals from Parkinsons (and a new triple clamp centre pinch bolt).
Ordered the bearings from B & C Express.

REALLY hope they all turn up before the weekend!

All done back on the road again, a combination of the head bearings and a new front tyre and now she rolls into lean rather than having to be forceful.

Good job Mash, what did you end up doing with regards to the torque figure ?

Tightened until "bound" then backed off until free movement without play. I suspect once it's bed in a little I will develop a bit of play, if it does I'll readjust.

The bike is much more sensetive now (which I like) feels much lighter, I suspect most of that is down to the new front tyre though!

The saeme thing just happend to me, when I checked it, The browser is changing the URL to an HTTPS:// (secure certificate page) instead of an HTTP:// link just take the "s" out and it will be fine, failing that google it.

Must be being thick here - I use http://parkinsonsmotorcycles.co.uk and I still get the holding page. Googled it and found it ok - clicked thru and the same.

Have you just been able to get there tonight? If you have can you refresh the page ok to make sure you don't have it cached.

Cheers,
Adam..

Looks like Parkinsons where in the process of changing their service provider.
Their new web address is Motorcycles by Ducati, Suzuki and more from Parkinson Motorcycles, Colchester Essex. UK. sorry for the confusion we just picked an inopportune time.
