Pete Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 The TT-R's finally done! Turns out the persistent oil weep was coming from the redundant decompressor bolt on the top of the casing. No sweat though....cos for them to find it, I ended up with all the top gaskets and oil seals replaced. And I had them to adjust the valves while they were at it. The new air filter is in and it's running a hell of a lot better now, as the old one was disintegrating and split. It's got a new MOT, new NGK, the handguards are on, it's got Silkolene inside, and now it's running like a little watch. Let's Rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Castrol was the oil of choice....but times change Alan! Silkolene is the only one for me. Put some in on the next oil change, and your bike will feel smoother for it. Very good for notchy boxes like on Yams and Hondas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 When I got my XT it had Castrol GPS in it. 1000 miles later and Silkolene went in. What a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
