  1. try beaverbrooks, they have loads of rings
  2. if the BT page is an on-line web based email client, then your PC email is set to pick up the emails and wipe the on-line content. mine is set-up like this. If you do try and keep it, you will soon run out of space and Yahoo will start deleting so you can still receive emails. Otherwise, any sent emails will be bounced back and lost forever.
  3. get oil in the cyls or you'll find the engine seized when you come to work on it in fact spray the whole bike in wd40 or whatever to keep the moisture out

  10. that's basically what the Italians did, I'll keep it as its got Italian writing on it too. Keep it "original"
  11. when I took out the bearings of the rear hub, i noticed that one of the bearings had a bit of Italian tin wrapped around it. This i believe is because the hub was too big for the bearing from the factory!! I can tell it hasn't spun as i can still see the cast markings and no signs of wear apart from reusing that bit of tin,along with bearing lock, has anyone else got any suggestions? things I have thought of; 1) Just bearing lock = too much gap 2) peen the alloy inside = won't get it central, can fail

  14. I'd give it an Italian service every now and then ie full throttle high revs for 1/2 hour or so, ride like you stole it. this gets the engine nice and hot and gets rid of most engine issues like you mentioned. I do this with all the bikes and cars.
