The tasks I have left to get this bike back on the road are small but I am really struggling for time
Anyway, today;
Helicoil kit eventually arrived
so I set about repairing the M7 thread for the Rocker Cover.
In the kit you get a Drill Bit, a Tap and the tools to insert the coil and to break off the tang (the small lug used to locate in the tool to wind the coil into the new thread.
I read somewhere that it's bad to fill your engine with bits of swarf so I took the part off that needed attention.
Drill out the damaged thread and tap a new one using the Tap provided
Load the coil onto the tool
Wind in the coil
A nice new M7 thread
