I need someone who knows the 1098S inside out for a day... Nothing wrong with the bike, but once the 748 goes on Saturday, I will again have room to strip the 1098S properly and get a good look at all her gubbins and familiarise my self with her. So, anyone know one inside out to spend half a day with me running over things, tips and tricks for removing/bolting things on? Probably next weekend. As said, payment is tea and biscuits
location???? i know fack all about the 1098 but i'll drink ya tea....................................actually im the same with my 8 , not quite sure where everything is etc ...the 996 was pisseasy and i new my way round it , try removing the fairing ????? ....jeeeeeeezooooose HOW MANY FASTENERS
Haha, a location might be helpful, Reading. And yep, the 748, could strip that within 30 mins down to nothing but a engine hanging in the frame. 1098S, took me almost a hour to get the RH/LH fairings off! Hate it I had to ring Moto Rapido to ask how to put the pillion pegs on!!!
Yup - those fairings/well nuts are a whore to get off, actually off is ok, on is horrible! You can change to Dzus if you've a mind to taking a drill to her... The tank is a little tricky as you have to remove the side thingies without scratching the tank!
Right, decided, next weekend the following jobs will be at hand: Sprocket replacements Chain replacement Belt check Sparkie checks Possibly oil change Rear bushes check Overal wiring check and a beer
