Hi guys well been on you tube and even some on there have different views one saying he does not follow the tension stated in the bikes manual so i will tell the guys to watch the channel and make their own minds up (back to square one} anyway thanks Roy 

Thanks for the replies very informative but what about modern bikes does the chain tension up when rider and pillion are onboard ?. Thanks again Roy

Hi all,a talk in the pub the other night about was about final drive chain tension not just classics but modern where as does the chain tighten up with one or the pillion seated. The answers where 50/50 acouple said yes and the others said no how can it tension because its a set length then it was mentioned about the action of the swing arm the question was then dropped but is there anybody on our club forum got a answer would like to hear it. Roy

Hi Rob glad to hear you are nearly ready, I see you have 19"rear tyre if your speedo is run off the rear wheel do you know what ratio the speedo gear box is ive been trying to find out. thanks Roy (my A65L is a 1966 import)

I cleaned  the tiny holes with a frayed piece of wire from cycle brake cable carefully not to scratch the inside then sprayed carb cleaner in

Thanks for the replies why i was a bit confused.com was that I always thought counter was the opposite to what you were doing,Roy

Evening all over the past years i have read about counter steering but never tried it or knew what it was all about but whilst out on my Suzuki with my wife on pillion going round a sweeping left hand bend i gave the left hand handle bar a nudge to the right only slightly and a voice said what was that, has any one used counter steering other than on a speedway track on the road and whats it supposed to do, thanks Roy
