Thanks for the info, I want to fit a connector to the battery so I can charge it without taking off the bike.

Usually at the top of the apple tree.
Read a bit aboot this on the af1. Seems the prob is when you loosen the bolt the threaded insert spins and fir some reason it's the right side that always fecks up. There are ways round it.

No. It's fitted to the rear subframe and that's fabricated from hollow section. The wall thickness is to thin to be able to thread it for a bolt so they use what I'd call a hank bush (lift engineers use them all the time). Ok the sort as I remember wis twofold. First was to get the bolt out, Some used a flat head screwdriver to lever under the flange of the insert thus keeping it tight or if you get the flange lifted enough you may be able to get grips on it ie pliers on mole grips.
Once it's out then you can either drill through the bottom of the hollow section and fit a nut and bolt or bond the insert back in and use plenty of lube on the bolt.
Sorry most of the probs were with the opposite side from the clutch R/H.

Go Fud yourself Aldo, Thunderroad's prices for bikes are way over the top, look at their website. Trying to give the fella some advice. I was in school with the owner also, and he was a right ****. Spoilt Daddy's boy.
Tricky - never tried their bacon sandwiches, I'm sure they are fine. I've bought some gear from them, their staff are ok but the bikes are so overpriced that's all.

First,...welcome to the site.As you have already found out,there is some good 'ol boys on here that know an aweful lot about Tuono's.
I have a permanent charger lead fitted to my bike.The connector sits next to the tool kit tray,so all I have to do is pop off the pillion seat cover to get at it.

Itching to ride my T as well (it's been about 5 weeks), but no fun at all on greasy, salt-encrusted roads so it's staying in the garage nice and shiny and under a cover. If we get any warmer dry spells over the winter I'll be up to Aber for a cuppa for sure.
Roll on Spring........

welcome Tricky
Hello m8t
By and large we are a friendly bunch
You may need to buy a babelfish ... as some of our Celtic members do rather tend to go off into pre-Brave Heart rambles ... usually when pissed ... or to be more correct pished, blootered or guttered.
You will LOVE the T.
You will wonder why the manufacturer chose to omit a back brake and fit steamy clocks
Most of all you will grin a lot, turn heads, pull unexpected wheelies ... and have fun
There is a wealth of knowledge and advice on here so visit regularly, chip in ... and watch out for a trappy American (lol sorry Wolf!)
