  4. If anybody has pics of the heatshield , what order the spacers and washers go in , much appreciated :) I forget lol

    I am nearly sure it had a spring on there
     
  5. Top polishing... :upyeah:

  6. Carlo have a look in the parts book (page 82 for the MY01 issue) The polishing is impressive

  7. The smaller AGM battery will be a fair bit lighter of course :)
     
  8. Rider , what bracket do you use to secure the battery , it is alot smaller

    I got it for my Monster M900 97 and gave it back , did not want the hassle of trying to secure it , was tiny in comparsion
     
  9. Hey

    Bit of a funny one, I read a few threads on same issues but nobody was any the wiser

    I am driving her Daily for 1.5 weeks , last week on the way home she started hesitating , would not go over 3.5/4K rpm
    Taught I was going to be left on the side of the road , then she started running as normal

    Today is the 2nd time I drove her since it happened

    Bike is cold , new fuel, service is up to date

    She starts hesitating at 4k rpm , twist the throttle and she wants to die; periodically she just all of a sudden goes

    She does not sound 100%

    Intermittently she runs as normal , similar symptoms to last week

    As she gets warmer the hesitation goes up the rev band to 5K ; can drop back to 4K

    Normally the rpm counter sits rock solid on 1K on idle , but I noticed it ticks back and forth deom 1K to 1.2K on idle during these syptoms

    Any idea's?

    I read owners changing plugs, oil, fuel filters, cleaning out fuel lines/tank

    Tank was POR treated about 1.5 years ago , looks good inside

    Any thread I read , seems to point to the ECU

    Might ACF50 the electrics , but I only WD40 them to get any moisture out

  10. I have a 999, which is designed for this smaller size of battery but smaller shouldn’t be a problem, it’s just a matter of packing it out accordingly.
    Polystyrene or polyurethane foam should be fine, as would balsa.

  11. It also makes a hiss sound dead on 4K rpm, bike at idle , not under load

    Disappears under 4K and over 4k

  13. Rear disc bolts

    Anybody know the length? M8X1.25 in the manual but no lenght
     
  14. Did you sort your other problem? Hesitation over 4000 rpm, if so what was it.

  15. I did Steve ; I put some injector cleaner in her and did an italian tune up at a track day

    She is running sweet ever since , the hiss sound on 4K rpm , slowly disappeared but recently I am starting to hear it creep back in

    As far as I know , only thing under pressure is the fuel filter ; will swap it out shortly for a new one

  16. would love to know how those pipes got so shiny?
     
  17. Depending how bad yours are , they may need to go to a polishers with the appropriate equipment

    Get some White Diamond and a lint free cloth , apply white diamond , leave for 10mins after application , take off with lint free cloth , go again

    You will have a good idea if you can do them by hand without killing yourself

    If you did get them professionally polished , use white diamond and lint free cloth to seal, protect and clean them
     
  18. I think there about 16mm long Carlo

  19. ok thanks. would a fine grade wire wool like 0000 and some autosol be too abrasive?
     
  20. Thanks Dave

    I got the kits for the 748 off a few places before to find out they are the wrong sizes
