If I take a bike on the ferry with a fly-up side stand (suicide - e.g. early 916 or GS etc) I'll attach a luggage strap between the foot of the...
All sorted now, thanks to VtwinDave. Cheers mate! I'll clean and reline the tank later this year then offer the plate for loan on here to anyone...
Direct message on its way to you.
That would be perfect Dave. Much appreciated. How much do you want for it?
I really need to line the inside of the 916 tank. It's an early unlined tank, 1995, and it's starting to rust around the flange plate hole,...
Perfect. Thanks for the tip.
Sorry, ducv2, but yes, I'm absolutely certain that my foot isn't touching the brake pedal. On the last run I put the toes of my boot on the...
Thanks everyone for all this priceless information. This is stuff which can't be found in Haynes or similar; the alternative is to learn the hard...
The hose looks to be OK but if I'm doing the master cylinder I'll replace the hose too. Have had another look at the bike since receiving the...
Very many thanks for your replies. There is some free play at the pedal when the bike's cold but maybe not as much as 5mm. Of course...

Many thanks Dez. Stator wires replaced and I'm gradually getting there with the 916. Found a solution for the generator light. I'm told that...
Thanks for the heads up on Electrex etc. :upyeah:
Yes, rewinding is an option. A place fairly close to here had a good reputation at one time but I believe there has been a few issues recently.
Yes thanks, will do. Had realised that it'd be pre-rectifier. Battery on charge at the moment, I'll give it a try tomorrow.
Many thanks Derek, I'll do that.
An ohmmeter connected to both the yellow wires on my single phase generator (1995 916SP) shows full continuity between the two windings. No...
Probably the best place for me. But thanks.
