    Brake Return Spring

    Something doesn't look right when installing some new break pads on my S1. One of the return springs doesn't seem to fit right. The hook on the end of the spring will not hook in the hole like a regular hook, it's too long of distance from the edge of the spring to the hole. If I turn the...

    I found two more parts from my SI that I removed many years ago. They are two tubes and I don't know where they go. I don't find them in the Parts List. One had a rubber extension attached to it with fittings. The other has a small rubber tube slid on one end. Ideas, Ken

    The adventure continues as I try to figure out how to put my SI back together. This question has to do with the spacing of the timing chain from the "block to the chain". I don't remember ever removing it but the pulleys don't seem to go on far enough and the damper pulley doesn't go on far...
