My S1 obviously had TV aerials mounted on the roof with some form of double sided sticky. I've got the little mounting plates off but dont know what to use to get the mgoo/rubbery stuff off the roof without damaging the duco. Have tried petrol and turps but it didn't work.

Any clues please?

Prepsol or any wax and grease remover, most places carry it in some form

id say its probably eurathane and id say try prepsol if not ask the local panel beater.

you have to be carefull with the paint as mek may react with the duco.

got the goo off the roof of mine today i used 2 stroke fuel and it slowly disolved what looked like silicone from under the double sided tape it took about 1 hr to do both then cut and pollished the area.apart from the assholes who removed them putting a couple of scratches up there (only small) where they prised them off with a screwdriver it came up well.

I used some stuff called "UHU Goo-remover" to remove my badges.

I find rubbing it really hard with your finger works too, when the goo gets hot it just rubs off.

I would image using a heat gun of sorts and a platic knife would work better.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
