McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
CWC fitted my 400 front tyre on back to front, to their credit they collected the wheel & delivered it back f.o.c.

The clip was on the 4th slot down from the top so I have relocated in the 2nd groove down from the top. Wheels back with the tyres on correctly so I will be refitting to the bike tomorrow. Well that’s the plan.

Out of interest, Mike. You are running with full airbox and filter? I ask simply as the previous guy probably wasn’t with those settings?

Mike_Berkshire:
Yes I am and when I got the bike it had no air filter so I assume the needles had been raised to compensate for the weaker mixture without the air filter.

Mike_Berkshire:
Is there a trick to torquing the front wheel spindle? I have a couple of wrenches with different drives; both are conventional socket wrenches. I can’t see it’s possible to get the socket over the spacer nut as the hex part of the nut goes adjacent to the wheel hub and therefore I can’t get a socket over it?

Bryanj:
Never used a torque wrench on one, just tight as both ends are clamped in forks
