I have one of the Factory Racing ones on mine and it's good and you can buy seal rebuild kits from them,i rebuilt mine a couple of months ago trying to sort a problem which ended up being the master cylinder.

Yes sorry meant the slave upgrade. I have noticed some cheaper version of the Oberon listed on eBay recently but for the sake of £20 might as well get the tried & tested part. I will add this to the list to do if it makes the clutch lever lighter.
Thanks for confirming |

Not sure if you mean your wrist hurts from the clutch or the bars,if it's the bars then a cheap fix that worked for me is to swap the clipons over so they sit more or less flat which i find a lot more comfortable.

Just a quick update.
Have been getting used to to & enjoying the Italian twin for the last few months. Feel guilty for riding in the winter months however I don't drive a car so main made of transport. After the best part of a year putting her back together it all feels worth it. Planning a few upgrades for spring. Mainly clutch slave upgrade. I have a dodgy wrist & still feeling it after the 3 mile filtering home from work. I've noticed some cheap £70 jobs come up on eBay. Anyone tried one? Cheers Alan |

Thanks Hemi, would I get away with going down to a 16t sprocket on the front keeping the standard chain & rear? From what I have googled it is a yes but just want to check before ordering.
Thanks again |

Bike now mot'd & back on the road. Soooo glad to be riding again & looking forward to getting used to the Mille. I must admit I had a bit of a sore neck & wrist from the clutch after riding it the long way home. Sure this will get better after a week or so of riding.
....& already looking at mods! What would peoples opinion of first mod be? Front sprocket of forza chip? Thanks |

Clutch bleeding done
Cbr1000rr side stand fitted Oil cooler/ oil tank mount & silent blocks fitted New rad & oil tank guards fitted. Rode down for Mot yesterday & failed on steering head bearings & the front brake is still binding so got the work booked in for Wednesday. So close now.... I notice all of the photos have disappereard due to photobucket which is annoying but will get some more up next weekend if I get time. |

The lower water cooler support I require seems to have two part codes. Both show for the same years but two different prices. Does anyone know the difference between AP8134638 & AP8134379 ?

Good Afternoon All,
At last a update. Old front wheel swapped with a mint one I managed to pick up from this forum (thanks Spiceweasel) Discs swapped over, new wheel bearings & new tyre fitted. Linkage bearings replaced Oil cooler & oil tank replaced. Fresh oil & filter Rear brake bleeding done After twatting the linkage bearings in the swingarm for hours I gave up & booked a mobile mechanic to do all of the above work, he did say he had not seen a bearing that stuck for years & the press he used struggled even with lots of heat. List left to do: 1.Bleed clutch 2.Source the little bracket thingy which supports the oil cooler from the oil tank (mine has sheared off) 3.Mot |

Good luck Al,just take a few minutes to get everything lined up properly and it should be a doddle
Easiest to remove the seals first with a hook or small screwdriver and clean out as much old grease as you can to get the parts seating correctly then just tighten the nuts. Oh,remember to stop and remove the first bearing as it drops into the socket,you don't want to jam it in with the second I cleaned out the empty bores with some very fine wet& dry paper to ensure no lips or nicks then it's a simple case of reversing the process and fitting the new units. Lube them up nicely before pulling them into place and it'll make any future replacements a bit easier hopefully |

Thanks Kevrsp. I almost bought a swingarm & linkage off of ebay thinking it maybe the easier way to go! I will try the bolt & socket way first since that will only be a couple of quid.
Ive been on a bit of a spend today. Now waiting on Link plates Linkage bearings & seals Some of Spooky's washers Marine grease Oil cooler Engine oil & filter Axle stands Sdoc100 cleaner & a seal driver to finish the fork seals on my honda Its a bit of a joke at the moment. Ive got two bikes & they are both out of action at the moment while I am walking to work! |

It was just a longish M12 cap head screw from work ,can't remember how long sorry Actually a length of M12 studding and two nuts would be better,all you need then is something like a thick washer with the od trimmed down to just less than the bearing diameter to do the pushing and something like a large socket with a hole bigger than the bearing to allow them to be displaced. You could try to drive them out and be lucky but they are sometimes almost welded in |

Hey Al, Have a look at my rebuild thread. I had nothing but trouble with my swingarm bearings. If yours look anything like mine, my advice is to give the arm to an engineer and get them to take them out. I found that the bearings came out but the race was actually welded into its seat. €30 later and they were out and the seats cleaned up. If you need any advice just shout. Best of luck. |

Thanks Ian that sounds like a plan. I have a feeling the swingarm bearings are going to bring me to tears. I dont suppose you remember what length M12 bolt you used?

Don't try knocking the bearings out!!!!
You MAY get lucky but on the other hand.... A far better way is an M12 bolt with nut and some large washers or maybe a suitable sized socket I posted a link to some very useful Youtube videos showing how to do by a Dutch Aprilia rider Here you are http://youtu.be/36nxIXbyFHs http://youtu.be/YwxNsfM9fXo http://youtu.be/yRsmr7nkCbM http://youtu.be/ZfU0rt52LoY Do the job properly first time without any risks I tried driving the things out and wasn't so lucky,I then turned up a spacer about 0.2mm Dia smaller than the the bearings to pull the remains through This was so easy I should have listened to my instincts first rather than going at it all gung ho |

As a couple of people noticed the link plates on my replacement linkage is a different size so I am now on the look out for a new set. Is it a case of ordering from AP or is there a better uprated version for the gen 1?
On the plus side the dogbone is the correct size. Looking under my bike the linkage is in a bit of a worrying state, before I get under there is it worth buying a bearing puller set to make the job easier? |

That's nothing,you wait till you start getting shown pictures of all the stuff you never even knew about.
You suddenly find you 'need' many ,many new parts,mostly carbon fibre but also lots of shiny,light weight bits and pieces and that's before you find out you NEED a 1060 kit |

Ive measured the dogbone & it is 130mm so looks to be the right size when comparing to the photo I found online with the different sizes. I think you might be right on the plates though. I will get under the bike in the morning & size them up to what is already on the bike. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks for the AP link to the bearings I didnt see them on there when checking before. Also need a oil cooler as well, I can see my bank balance taking a bit of a hammering tomorrow! |

As hemi said those plates look like Gen 2 with the weak short link that most peeps swap out for after market ones.

Just double check your linkage against your original as there is different length linkages and sized side plates, personally I would get the best quality bearings you can as that do take some stick.
