I had the bike back together, looking rather good, and pleased with all the work I'd put in,
took it for a quick shake down, and, No...
something was well wrong, and not sounding very good at all..
After having a serious ponder, the bike was back inside, on the stands and soon coming down.
The rear barrel base gasket leaking was on thing, but the rumble from the motor was more of a concern, so out it came, I could say it was plain sailing, but not really, a few nuts and bolts, some pipe work, and a frantic call to the missus to assist when it all became alive at the last stage of dropping the motor, it was out..
So the motor went off for a strip and diagnoses, leaving a sad looking frame hanging from the rafters...
And that is where we are, but looking forward to getting stuck into cleaning and prepping the frame ready to take the rebuilt motor..
Happy riding guys, I'm just waiting to get stuck in!
