You put a 1.6mm in, pull a 2mm out....In, out, in, out....

Ah, I see what you are saying now, I went by VIN number on the Triumph website for the gaskets, no option to select by engine number.
I will be careful to check this when they arrrive.
Thanks for the heads up

 

Silkolene is the best oil, put plates in boiling water with a drop of fairy liquid and soak them and give them a scrub Then soak in fresh oil in the tray after boiling them, that's the best you can do without fitting new. Worth a go

 

Fully

 

When I do mine, should I soak the new plates in oil first, even go so far as heat it a little to help the oil get absorbed?
And with the friction (metal) plates, I am considering rubbing them down with brake cleaner and a cloth or a little wet n dry to remove any residue if needed. Hopefully not though

Is there any other maintenance that can be done on the bike while I have the casings off? What about the cam chain tensioner, new spring maybe if htis can be done now :/ ?

 

I use
Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W/40 Motorcycle Engine Oil - 4ltr(Fully Synthetic)
£40 from Halfors or cheaper online, I bough 4 bottles of the stuff and change oil ever 7500 / 8000 mile

 

Get yourself a Halfords trade card, reduces it to £32

 

yeah, that font change was me cutting and pasting from Amazon, couldn't work out how to change it back to smaller type
