Ok, thanks Simon, I’ve noticed the difference in price between the callipers for the gv650 ones for other bikes are cheaper even though they are the same callipers

I’m trying to decide whether to buy new callipers or just new pistons and seals, l can get new callipers for £62 each

I found a uk comp that can make new pistons for me but not give me a price for 4 yet until they receive one of my old ones, if too expensive the l think l will go down the root of new callipers

[Alan]

Managed to split fork again, there is connecting rod that comes from the adjuster, it had slipped out, back in again and now able to get the hard and soft settings again but noticed difference in height if fork oil between left and right fork even though put same amount of oil in each fork, the left fork oil hileight seemed higher than the right 🥴

[Alan]

I’ve run into another problem with the right fork, the rebound damper adjuster ain’t working, it just  rotates all the way round but  the left side works ok

Can they be repaired or is it a new right fork ???

[Alan]

Well l now have the seals in and the retaining clip, lm assuming it’s all good and that collar is just a cover for the seals, l will soon find out when the forks go back on tomorrow night

 

[Alan]

.http://I’m not sure what you mean, does the c ring go with the rubber o ring in the slot ?l

[Alan]

Yer,l meant the metal c ring,how do l get that back in, forks are ready for new seals but because the collar  keeps slipping back can’t get them seated

 

[Alan]

[Alan]

Thanks for the reply, the bottom collet has popped out of the o ring and l can’t get it back in, will post photo tomorrow to see if anyone has an idea how to get it back in

Finally sorted out gv125 cold start issues

It waa hard to start 1st thing in morn, always seems to  be flooded when eventually got going

Heres what l tried and it worked

Always turn off petcock when not using for a few hours give it full choke on then turn  on petcock, fires up  1st time, happy  days!!!!

 

 

[Alan]

Yer, but run battery down, not been out on it since last sun, and just been starting it in morns soneed to give it a good run tomorrow

Thanks for your assistance Marcel

Marcel

Went to start bike this morn, and this is what happened

Can’t believe it!!!

 

 

[Alan]

Ok, will try to get vid tomorrow after work and post it

Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

[Alan]

Cheers, l found the same diagram as you, it’s back in and all gears working a as they should, fortunately

It was nearly an expensive mistake

I have another problem though, when l try to start bike in mornings all l get is a clunk, but eventually turns over and starts

Thought it was starter relay so replaced that and still same, now thinking it’s starter motor but once it’s running it starts every time

Also replaced battery, any ideas as to whether it’s the starter motor or something else???
