Right chaps, dropped the oil and it's a lovely creamy reddy brown, thoughts on what to replace or should I be whipping the heads off now? Ignore any other foreign bodies in there, it was only the fluid that came out.

Looking like condensation, stripped clutch and cleaned all up, back together, fresh oil and water, put the second hand stator on and it's missing again. Tomorrow night borrow the one that worked again to see if that solves it as it ran perfect before. Hopefully it will so that can run up to temp and flush everything out.

Stripped front callipers as they were binding, started stripping paint ready for a refresh whilst they're in bits, new seals required.

Left hand silencer has been cut at the front and welded back up but it's twisted and doesn't sit right on the bike, luckily it's been cut on the original welds so hoping it can be recut and welded properly, question is guys, why would it have been cut? Is there a restricter in there? Why only the left one?

Self cancelling fitted, swapped yellow for black wire and no indicators, is there something else to swap? Battery strap came so fitted that.

Where do I find numbers on the exhausts to check what they are please? If they are 250 and the restricter in the left has gone, is there 1 in the right to remove too and will they work the same as 350 when done?

Exhaust has probably been cut open to retreive a broken baffle, had to do several in the past. Maybe the reason why one has only been done?
I'd also be changing the water pump seal, that looks like a lot of condensation, unless it's really cleaned up?

restrictor fitted where downpipe meets first cone Well that is in a different place to this then, and this is a genuine 4lo so I'll see if I can get it sorted by a friend at race fit uk.

Busy night, stripped all bearings from wheels and hubs, that was easy..... Ran bike for half an hour, Rev counter all good and temp gauge, runs like a Swiss clock. Emptied all fluids again and refilled with new. Starting to write a little list of needs, clutch springs don't look standard and you need a strong hand to work lever, all other parts good so think some different springs in will sort that. Wheel bearings, throttle cable, retaining tabs for wheels, carb to barrel rubbers as these cracked. Knackered 2 spacers in wheels getting bearings out (Or Bri did!) sorry Bri, will order those too. Front brake seals and paint for those, paint for wheels then paint for bike if her indoors will let me rob the joint account!!

Bet that's the 1 that is knackered, does it fit on the end of the spacing tube? Think that can be straitened but the front one is knackered.

One of the wheel bearings has a 20mm I/D & there is a top hat style spacer that reduces the I/D to 15mm. OEB EDIT: Item No6 of the fiche.
