Quiken,
Hiya matey. Apologies if I sounded a bit harsh. I think that here in the first world (lol - soon to be third world the way wer'e going), some of us here often forget just how difficult it is for our biker brothers in other far off places to source parts etc... I should know better having spent much time in Africa (including South Africa). Sorry.
I'm not exactly mechanically minded myself, apart from doing a simple XT service I know next to **** ** when it comes to mechanics. I take my hat off to YOU because you are prepared to have a go despite the fact you know very little. I guess it's a good way to learn but I haven't the confidence to risk causing expensive damage. I'd rather leave the complicated mechanical stuff to the experts. Thing is it's damn expensive this way. Far better to learn to do it yourself. I guess I'm just plain bone idle!
There are others out there (such as Mezo) who are probably better qualified to advise you...
All the very best.
