In order to bleed the brakes/clutch this little device has to be screwed in to the calliper/clutch hose end. I think its a speed bleeder? (self sealing valve?). Does anyone have one to pass on/sell/lend? Please!! Motorworks say they dont do them!
And, grabbing the rear wheel at both horizontal and vertical axis reveals movement of about 1mm on both. What/where is the adjustment for this please?
Ta.
pass the beer please...........

Junk the speed bleed adaptors in the front calipers and replace with normal bleed nipples(motorworks sell stainless ones).The same normal bleed nipple will do for the clutch bleed pipe aswell.
Wheel movement.Well if you have movement in all planes,then it could be the carrier bearing which can be shimmed to elimnate play or fit new bearing.Big nasty horrible job apparantly,requiring pullers and suchlike.It is quite hard to pinpoint play to a specific area,but i would check and adjust pivot bearings first along with swingarm bearings.If you read through the posts in the tech section there is plenty info on how to do this.
