One small item not mentioned you should definitely carry is a spare split link for the rear chain.
And a comprehensive list of obscenities to scream at errant motorists- so much more satisfying than using the horn.

Thanks Bob ,I'll get a couple sorted .I understand the comprehensive list is universal and applies to all models ? :grin:
Do you happen to know the part number for the gear lever return spring please ?
Dave
Yes, the standard motorcycling list is adequate. You will of course tailor it to your specific needs.
Ian has listed the return spring part number. Should you have to get the gearbox cover off for any reason, don't forget that rear securing bolt attached from behind the selector casing. Hope that made sense.

Thanks Bob. I'm trying to get together a basic kit for roadside repairs . I've been scouring the net for original tools Russel Motors sent me some NOS still wrapped and labeled tools, I'll of course carry the modern versions just in case .
Yes I'm with you on the rear securing bolt , thanks for that as no doubt I would have been scratching my head :thinking_face:
Dave
Glad that made sense to you as it's not very well put, done in a hurry. I just meant to make sure you locate all the fasteners, some of the bolts can be tricky to get at.

Hi Bob
I'll have to spend time having a good look at everything just to get the jist of things. One thing I picked up while reading bits and pieces on the net was ,if its being parked up for a month or so is to drain the oil tank ,if not oil accumulates in the sump ? I'll no doubt be asking quite a few questions over time from owners that know the WM inside out .
Hi Dave
Yes, oil will eventually drain through into the sump. You can run the motor to pump it all back, if possible do this in the proximity of neighbours you don't like as there's a formidable smoke cloud emitted. It's probably not very good for the engine either, maybe gumming things up a bit. Others would know.
