    The problem with sheds is that you have to fill them... with as much as possible! :P

    I'm stripping the engine down this week, I've decided that I bought the bike as a Project/hobby and I know I can make the money back selling all the parts on it.

    Firstly I'm going to try the quick fix, because it's been recomended by aircraft technicians and a few mechanics, if that doesn't work then it'll be me with a my trusty Haynes manual, a recomended wheelie bin for bits that don't seem to have a home anymore, a swear jar and a great big mallet for when it all goes wrong ;D

    Once I've finished, I'll stick it on eBay in France or somewhere and then go into hidding

    If I still don't get any joy, I'll hold a voodoo style ritual by setting the bike alight and dancing round the f**king thing [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    be really careful with anything that "Bungs up small holes" in the oil system........there are teeeeeeeeny jets from the feed to the crank that are aimed at the bore walls, these lubricate the bores and cool the underside of the piston, and REALLY dont want to be blocked.... if you block these il give your motor about 5 minutes till its a shiney boat anchor.....

    bodging it with a sealant isnt really a good idea.....if you strip the motor you can do a few free mods as well at the same time, gaskets and oil will be less that £100 and youll have a good motor at the end of it....AND youll have the satisfaction of fixing it properly yourself...

    if its Fecked, what have you got to lose?????.....

    Sounds like a plan [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    I've fired the turd up and she's no longer leaking so I can now get her through an MOT and then take her to Steve (Jonneyflame) for a rebuild and it sounds like Jaydee's stealing her to make her run better.

    All I need now is a balaclava, a bank and then I can afford all this ;D
