| just taking apart my Silverwing atm as i want to check the general condition of things. will be be doing an oil/filter change later and air filter & fresh coolant . bleed brakes through with new fluid and fit new pads front/rear & handbrake and speaking of pads. I think the previous owner wanted to get their monies worth with these pads |

| Hi.
OOOH not good, don't forget to clean the inevitable gunge off the caliper pistons/ and seals and check for pitting before pushing them back in to fit new pads.
Hope this helps. |

| Hi.
Did you check the underside and front leading edge of the fuel tank for corrosion while you we down that low? You'll need a torch and mirror to inspect properly between the rubber curtains and tank.

| Hi. You need a worm's eye view of the bottom and front leading edge of the tank. You will need to remove plastic under cover first. Here's a link to the manual and other Swing files. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cpsqEmvlpa4A4qDPLVGbqlwMfpqnZ0EM |
