You can leave it on. For the wheel just pull it back after removing the swing arm pins and the drive shaft bolts...then hold the wheel rearward using cargo strap. Works for me.

Leak down test could tell you something about the condition of the valves/seats. A common cause of valve failure and valve seating problems is guide wear.....on any engine. No, it won't directly tell you the condition of the intake or exhaust valve guide but it might tell you a valve isn't seating r...

The european wires are listed in order of size in mm^2 cross sectional area. AWG is what's normal in the States. I'd say go with the 12 Ga...why not? not much difference in cost.

Oddysey PC680 , they're AGM type...I have 1 going on 6 years running fine, 1 at 4 years, 1 at 3years....all good if you charge em up the right way.

This is the lowest price I've found in the US. You can probably get one from Jaycar in AUS.

Remove the rest of the plastic around the rivets. Next use a Dremel with a cutting wheel t...

What's most likely to heat up and not start until it cools down?te] My guess would be a Hall sensor or coil. Just this last weekend I replaced a hall sensor in a bean can owned by my friend. The old one tested bad on the bench only when I applied a little heat to the sensor with a heat gun. It was ...
