    Bike's blown a big end. Not economic to repair. Spent over £500 on it last Friday...down the drain.

    Looking for a new one.

    It has been suggested that my coil problem may have started quite a while ago. Causing slight mis-firing, mis-timing and gradually putting unbalanced stresses on the piston, con-rod & big end of #3 pot over a period of time.

    Could be right.

    El wormo is turning.

    Sorry Caz - I bought another one. Heart ruled the head.

    It's a bit tatty, but VERY low mileage. Have SORNed mine, taxed and insured the 'new' one and am in the process of switching best bits from mine. Will change cables and fluids shortly.

    Mmmmm, nice warm feeling in the lower regions. Back to annoy you lot interfrastically.

    Friend wants the b*****ed engine to 'play with'. If economical will rebuild it then decide what to do !!!
