It is going to be a good ride to Globe. I am going to make a reservation at Days Inn in Globe. Whichever route we go on is good for me.  Just looking forward to riding.   Ok, sounds good to stay at Jack's. See you there soon.  :062:
That being the case, Scott and I can meet you there (Day's Inn).

I am planning on making it for the day on the 4th. What is a good time to meet in the morning?
I'd plan for 8 or so; we can let you know the day before.

And perhaps the gas tank could be just tilted up a bit and not completely removed ?   Although the small side tank hoses might have to be removed anyway to even tilt the tank up .....

But I like the idea of getting to the upper RSU mounting bolt from above instead of from below.  Sometimes even a little more time & work pays-off in dealing with a lot less hassle.

Hi again,

This isn't a job I've had to do on my Trophy yet.

According to the Service Manual you don't have to remove the Fuel Tank
to be able to remove the Rear Suspension Unit ( RSU ), but if you refer to the
following Photograph, you can see the top of the RSU  and how much easier it would be
to access the top Nut & Bolt, than trying to fiddle around to get at it from underneath :



If you send me a Private Message with your personal email address, I can send some more information  :028:

Cheers  :821:

Sorry to hear of this. 

Not a job I have had to tackle ( yet ! ),
but according to the Service Manual, it isn't too difficult a job.

Bike on the Centre stand, disconnect the Battery,
and place a block to support the Rear Brake disc.

Remove the Drag and Drop Links from the lower RSU mounting,
Right Hand Side panel, and Right hand "Control Plate" ( Footrest hanger plate ) are removed.
TES Power Control Module removed after noting the RSU wiring harness routing,
Fir Tree clip removed, TES Power Control Module bracket removed,
TES Motor detached from bracket, then bracket removed,
Upper RSU mounting nut and bolt removed ( new Nut required on refitting ),
Carefully manoeuvre the RSU and motor down through the swinging arm
noting the harness and hydraulic hose routing, and taking care
not to damage the Swinging Arm as it is withdrawn.

Cheers  :821:

It's an oft used figure of speech, not meant to be taken literally :016:.  I was just wondering if anyone had ever used one of these and what there experience of it was.

I'm not exactly dreading a cold start rattle from the cam chain tensioner, it only lasts seconds if the tensioner's oil leaks down.
