Are there any problems I should watch for when fitting?

It's all a pretty straight forward job, you'll need to support the bike so the weight is taken off the linkages of course but once that's done and a couple of other bits are out of the way you're good to go.

It is easier if the rear wheel is out and the exhaust is off too simply from an access point of view but it's easy to see what you need to get at before to start.

Also it's a good time to pull the linkages apart and grease the bearings while you're at it!!!

Oh! And Top Tip #47- Tape some bubble wrap around the spring before you manoeuvre it into place just incase you knock it and chip the paint.

Cheers Flip, I'll get my grease pot out.
