    oh and when you say heat cycles you mean let it idle and warm up then switch off and cool down again a few times?

    cheers

    Heat cycles are 15 minutes or so of gentle running and then letting it cool down completely ;)

    i always let it warm up by ticking over the very first heat cycle

    second cycle a bit of revs on stand

    third cycle take a easy ride up and down your block

    fourth cycle ride round the estate

    then once thats out the way thrash until the wheels fall off

    just one final question, to take the whole engine off the swing arm will i need a torque driver or is it just a hand wrench jobby ? because i dont have a torque driver and they are £30 quid to hire for a day from hss unless anyone wants to lend me one ?

    much appreciated

    dont have to ... but it might be a bit tight and you would want some locktight and use a breaker bar when tightening it up
