    What a wonderful man he is ...all that work and then gives you a root too! Very colourful one too, I might add.
    Those fluffy pants of yours just have to go, girlfriend! They are not a good look on one who is long past toilet training days

    Well I live in hope that the rain will eventually stop and my poor fluffy seam can last a few more months in the dry times before I have to buy some new ones.

    Amazing root eh?

    So what you are trying to say (in a roundabout way) is that a decent root is good for a fluffy seam?
    Great tale and photos. And it would seem that the blue lovely's story is not done.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I'm coming back in the next world as a "fluffy seam"! You will know it's me, I promise to stay warm, no matter what the weather!

    If you go for aftermarket springs just be aware a lot of them are a higher spring rate than stock and may make the clutch heavier to pull in

    Good idea to lube the clutch cable at the same time as well

    I cant remember, and I have left the manual with the bike, the springs were short of the minimum length though. I will see if I can track down Laava today (though I know he is riding out today) and ask. Yes the cable is as dry as a dry thing too. I have one of those nifty cable lubricating devices which I will be putting to good use.

    They were bang on 30mm, minimum is 30.8, not sure on max size but its around 40.8??, but like Anne said, will check with Lavva.

    I will check what I have, they have the same clutch as my 550

    :edit, I don't think those figures of yours are correct an XJ600 has a minimum free length of 40.2mm, I have springs here that are 40.8+ if you need them

    I was thinking 42.8 max to 40.8 min, mine are 40mm.

    Let me confirm that though. Should I go for something between max and min though? Do they get shorter with wear or something?

    These springs are 41mm and the manual says std is 42.8, min is 41.8, and they are approx 2.3mm wire and 17mm od. Would be great if you have them, no doubt you will let Anne know! Thanks Al

    All this time, Mom, you've been talking about your 'fluffy seam'. I didn't realise it was a typo...
    Hint: - the 't' is on the top row on your keyboard.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
