Valves not sealing?
ha ha, oink oink

Valves not sealing?
turn the cyl head upside down and pour petrol over the valves. If they are leaking, the fuel will seep through. Are the rings within spec and can you see the hone marks in the cylinder wall?

picking up a TDM850 Mk2 saturday
Just got back from Hull, bloody windy on the motorway and it was down to 40 mph on the higher levels. got home no problem though and the bike sounds aamzing, very comfy to ride and has good road manners. Front brakes are , the back ot so but I can give them an overhaul ( they are the same as the FZ rear brake too) need to give it a service for peace of mind and I had a squeel from the clutch from standing start blasting off the line, maybe thrust bearing or something. need to keep watching the speedo as It crept up to 90 in some places. Its got 35k on the clock any way here's acuple of pikkies owner painted and not the best, but good enough for what i'm using it for just need some hard pannier frames and panniers if anyone has some lurking?

picking up a TDM850 Mk2 saturday
Off to sunny Hull tomorrow to hopefully pick up a TDM850. Its a '96 mk2 model with the 270' crossplane crank and has aftermarket 2 in 1 pipe and blue spot brakes. its done 40k miles and has had a local respray in white and green. I've booked the national express as its only £15 (£48 on train) and get there 13:20. hope it checks out then I can ride to squires and have a look round the show. so I either could be stuck in Hull with no bike or zooming along the queens highway with a new bike. watch this space

Lytham St Anns
too nice to stay in and I was camping over weekend so didn't get my biking fix. Saw that there was a meet at Lytham St Anns so headed over there to check it out. Stopped at Lytham Windmill as it looked very pretty. the meet was crap and too clique for my liking. Coffee and cake was nice though
