No, the oil was dissolved by the peanut butter - however, that may also serve as a suitable basting fluid
Ohhh, OK then. I have actually got 2 new exhaust header gaskets on back order from Ducati. A Senna version you mean? Good idea. Just for all my adoring, and helpful, fans, and for the greater good of keeping you all amused as autumn, then winter, approaches I will do it Congealed peanut butter from the last time it was serviced by a Ducati dealer I think. Actually it wasn’t rust, it was corrosion, that’s much worse. He he he, done that already, out, cleaned, greased, back in. Piece of cake. Mind you it had been well prepped with penetrating oil but admittedly it did come out much easier than I expected after all the horror stories on here. I reckon the socket was karma for the swingarm pivot bolt
You appear to have missed the denouement by skipping some pages....is that how you managed War and Peace?
Dear Richard, Thank you for raising the delicate subject of loose cross members. It’s always a shame when one of our members is let loose, let alone one who’s cross (like many on here due to age). If I may be bold as to suggest you ought to restrain your member better that way it won’t frighten the neighbours; I find peanut butter works a treat. Alternatively just leave it hanging out in all weathers for 6 years after which it will be either rock solid or have fallen off. Yours faithfully Aunty Agony
I’ve had it off I tricked Sprocket into thinking I was attacking again on Wed, then snuck up on him last night. I had the BBC film it too, post #342. My tactics were straight out of Sun Tzu and The Art of War & Motorcycle Maintenance. It’s a bit more hard core than the Zen version; but worked a treat
Dear Agony Eejit, I think you need to start a new “Ask Paul” thread. Hours of endless amusement beckons as the evenings draw in.
