And you Dont need a Helmet!!!

Thanks for the reply. I've bought a block and top end casing for my current engine so I'm going to attempt the rebuild myself! Here's hoping I don't screw it up. Hopefully with lots of photos, taking my time and support from the service manual / support from this forum I'll succeed!! Thanks for all the help!

Hey guys and gals, hope all is well? Not been on in some time as been having a right old nightmare! Keeping a very long story short I managed to kill the bandit! All that effort down the pan after the bottom end going bang in the most spectacular way on the way home from work. So she has now gone to a new brave owner after selling it for spares n repairs. But not all is doom and gloom, today me and the wife just made a trip up to Swindon to purchase a rather nice 1998 XJR1200 for a not so bad price And will be delivered next Thursday. took it out on a test ride and to be fair I really didn't want to go back to the shop, just wanted to keep going and going! So easy to throw the front end up and get the shaky grin on your face. will have to get pics when she's delivered

Not sure what was up with the bandit, three weeks before its went bang I'd just done a full service so had nice new oil and filter. The bottom end was the old bit I didn't inspect or overhaul. Will Def get some pics up as soon as she's been delivered. Plus you can never really stay away from the yams for too long

As dodger says,, , My advise is " I just wouldn't use a pressure washer on a bike, , its asking for electrical problems,
