| Only 3, I will definetley be doing 5 otherwise I will risk failing, it was 5 on my Fireblade and also on my CBR600s, I haven't studdied the 600SS closely enough yet to know the total. On the 916 it was also 5, on a later 996 or 998 it would be 3.
As for a tool, you could always use a cup hook in the end of a drill, to twist the wires. I have a proper tool and get my wire from either raceparts UK or Denis Trollope. We get through a fair bit at the IOM with all calliper bolts done, fork pinch bolts etc. |
