That's brilliant Andrew.. Im sure you will love the bike. Its a great place to start mate 👍 thanks again.

Great advice Sean always best to use something that's the right size for the gap eh.. much easier than messing around with tape measures or rulers. Again on the steering I wish I'd mentioned that for sure can be a problem if the cable is a tad short or pinched by a cable wrap even. Great advice as always thanks again mate 👍

Use a 3mm drill bit…. Great advice thanks for your wisdom. Every day I learn something

Hi Kris thanks for the feedback mate. I'm glad you found the video useful 👍 hopefully you don't get any more issues with it mate 👍

Aye Mark the simplest solutions are usually the right ones. Thanks again mate 👍

That's brilliant I'm glad you like the bike. So good to work mate I love mine. You should come to Scotland if you get the chance👍

Aye Nev always easier to find something the right size. Much less messing around especially if you are doing it on your own. Thanks again mate 👍

I hadn't heard of laser alignment for motorcycles, but I am only just getting back into it my bike is still on a boat somewhere between India and the UK. I googled and found a Sealey laser alignment gauge, but that is expensive. It was simple in the old days. Small bikes had the same tyres front and rear so you could use a plank, and even bigger bikes had symmetrical swing arms so if the gap at the front of the rim to the inside of the swing arm was the same each side it was straight in the swing arm. We just hoped the swing arm was all ok centred in the frame and the front forks were straight. At 17 you were riding it anyway. Now at 62 I get my reading glasses on and start getting shims of wood or metal to ensure two things are the same gap and I am not trying to go anywhere near as fast either.

Thanks John appreciated mate 👍

That's it mate some bikes still have that type of system. The new re meteor has adjustment at both ends of the cable. Looks like an absolute pain tin the tits to be honest.

@@WeeJaunt Yep from memory it was with my old bikes , happy days :)

Thanks again mate 👍

Yes mate. Alot of people fit risers without installing a longer cable. You can get a longer cable for that very reason 👍

@@WeeJaunt Itchy boots had that after fitting risers on her first one.

@@mikehurley5052 Aye Mike can cause problems right enough 👍

It could be. If the bike is brand new it will be running break in oil which makes your gear shifts a bit clunky. It might also be the oil level? It's a wet clutch so the oil sits around the clutch when cold but runs through the system when the engine is running. If it's low on oil or old oil it can cause problems with the gear shift. I keep the bike topped up with a fully synthetic oil keeps the gear shifts smooth more of a satisfying snick than a hard clunk.

@@WeeJaunt yeah I just checked and the gap was at 6 or 7mm... way off specs. I haven't had a chance to test the results on a ride but with the bike stationary it seemed way smoother now at 3mm.

@@gcm4312 that will probably solve it mate. I hope so 🤞 these things are usually really simple. Good luck with it
