No, the clue is on the grease pot.
I see he was using the genuine brand of grease.

I did notice that along with the F2 in the background

Fitted the new stainless piston to the Katana front master cylinder today.
Bled it up & have a great feeling brake & no leaks.
Stripped down the rear caliper & master cylinder, it was full of the usual gunge. Scrubbed all the bits, wire buffed anything that looked like it needed it & put it back together again with rubber grease on all the bits
Fitted the master cylinder first, bled it up & flushed the hose before fitting the rear caliper & bleeding that up.
It's the first time up the brakes have felt like new for over ten years.

Yeah, I hear that's what its called

Lolz.

Oh, do they run a non standard chain size? I didn't know that. I mean even my dirtbike has a composite rear sprocket now I think of it. Far easier and more durable than machining your sprocket teeth.

I may have enough odds and sods in the shed to build one of these..

yip, there are hanging free....

The machining had nothing to do with chain size, its standard 520.

Yes I was being fayseafish, no physeeshiss, ok, being a dick, but poking fun. Clearly no one is bothering to make their own chain. It is a disposable wear item of reasonable complexity.
My original tenet stands; adapter is far easier then you can just swap out std, or lightly machined sprockets for cheap wear replacement or gearing changes. But knock yourself out, do it the hard way and smirk at the impertinence of alternate ideas.
