Got an RD80LC "new" from a breakers in Kingston on Thames(Coombe Bike Breakers), Roy Smiths in New Maldon had taken the front end off it to repair a another 80lc so i got the bike for £350, got a 2nd hand front end, had to register in Guildford C195SPF, traded it in at motorcycle city in Bedfont in August 1986 for a new RD350N1 (D138YLA), had that for about 2 years but kept getting banned, so sold it to get a 250LC which i had Lindermere tuned (Thames Ditton), about 4 years later fitted an YPVS motor to it plus other stuff sold in 1998 (RMU148Y) to Jack Lilly's and got a VF1000FF !! Mark Was it Kingston Bike Breakers on the corner opposite the American Car Centre? OEB  Christ! I remember that place, bought a set of new, small can Allspeeds there, £75.00!! That was for my blue and white 250lc, eventually morphed into a Stephens proddie tuned YPVS engine with Lomas pipes, Mel Lemoto fairing and ally tank with a Mead speed single seat, Ahhhhhh PLB 618W where are you now?

Hi, good luck with the rebuild, did you ever discover why she seized?

Evening Chaps,
the powervalves on my YPVS are leaking oil from where they pass through the barrels in the middle (where the powervalves join) Hope that makes sense!
After a ride the front of the engine shows signs of the leak.
I'm pretty sure it is just wear as i have all new seals and bushes.
Question
What is the best thing to do?
I know Stan Stephens does a re-bushing service, has anyone done this?
Cheers

Am I alone to really struggle to warm to him? I know that personality isn’t what makes a true racer, and I like lots that others wouldn’t eg L.H. (Big fan of his). I know what he has achieved is remarkable but I can’t put my finger on it. From a pure sport factor fair play no one has matched him and every team mate has never beaten him but, but , but. I quite agree, fantastic as he is, something missing, no idea what though! Mouse |

Exhausts look great, what a job to get the routing right, i'm guessing no centre stand!!
Looking amazing

Why? Are they just worried that this Covid nonsense will still be affecting things next May/June?

Many thanks Tobyjugs and Arrow, so you think jetting looks good not too lean?
That is with an oil pump recently refurbished by you Arrow so again, many thanks.
Next stop is a dyno run at the end of the month!
