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: 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...

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

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..
