Good Morning.
Did mine yesterday. The screws that hold the unit together are cross head, not phillips and are very tight. I rounded one off. Manage to sort it all, have replaced with bolts so you can use a small spanner.
Â
Another tip rather than use a long piece of wood or similar to hold the tank up - I used a bun-jee cord from the tank bolt hole to the rear grab rail - perfect.
Â
Thank you to all the folks contributing.

they can be uncommonly tight, on Moose's Niner, years ago, I had to remove both throttle bodies and pop them under the miller in a plastic bag and mill off one of the heads. even the shank was still quite tight in the hole. As I started the machine he said "you CAN put this all back together can't you ?" :rotflmmfao:

Lee can strip a tdm, throw all the bits in a box then put it back together better than Yamaha did, so the answer will be yes!

I'll stick my neck out and say that there's more than a good chance Lee could put it back together, probably blind folded with one arm tied behind his back, eating a cake with the other and even then it would end up shiney!

it all went back together fine. even made him a new stainless plunger pin, as the old one was squashed a bit by his mole grips. ChrisR's blue bike also had a stainless plunger pin made, now in AliG's possession.

Bugger - after lubing me plunger with Alu slip back in Oct 2020 all was fine.
Â
It started again last night though - No idle up on cold start up.

Noticed that Guest ET photos have gone at the begining of the thread - are they gone forever??
