Re: Clonk on Braking

A quick-fix when re-using nylok nuts is a hammer blow to the crown, re-compresses the nylon.

Re: Wanner grease gun

10. When you've finished using it, pull the black handle out to remove the pressure on the grease and lock the chain in the top slot. ( ish)

Re: Heated rear screen issue

Just checked mine and if you're confident with a soldering iron , pre tinned female spade terminal and a pair of fine nosed pliars should do the job...

Re: Heated rear screen issue

Is this a glass heated screen or a plastic stick-on element?

Re: Air Filter / Air Filter Housing

If you were Charlie Manchester I'd say just a wire grill to stop stones and small animals from being ingested...

If you were Charlie Kalahari then an expensive K&N would be required...

But for London any filter would probably suit...

Re: Disc brake conversion

If you have a remote servo in-line, it could be the air valve sticking....usually on cheap servos , there is a spring mod. or an O ring mod...

Re: Scroll seal

Not a bearing, no actual contact ( unless you have wear) more like a screw oil pump directing any oil back to the sump.

Re: Gasket

You could try Vaseline on one part and a bead of black silicone sealant on the other....don't tighten it till it's gone off.

Works for me..
