Choose tools for the job
Thread work calls for particular care on a classic British bike. Before using a tap or die, identify the fastener’s thread rather than assuming a familiar size will fit. British Standard Cycle (BSC) and British Standard Fine (BSF), for example, have different thread specifications. These BSC thread data and BSF thread data pages provide useful reference tables; use the workshop manual for your motorcycle to confirm the correct application.

Work from the right manual
