My smoke problem is still present. Only when the engine is hot, above half on the gauge, does it start to give out smoke from the right side. None when cold, and none when riding around (that I can notice)
I'm not too upset by the prospect of stripping and rebuilding, but when I add it all up, and considering the exhaust studs and nuts are a cremated iron mess, and I would need at least £100 for a gasket set before beginning, plus any parts and machining..... I just think it might be easier to break it, and start again.
17" front wheel, Samios ECU, Ohlins rear shock (needs top bushing), suspension linkage and swingarm good, forks good, calipers etc...
Maybe someone has a spare engine they could make a whole bike with ?
It still has 2 weeks MOT, I can return it back to standard and ride to a buyer as a whole bike (or meet somewhere in between, if you can't pick it up ? £600 ?
Or do I buy another engine at £600 - £1000 and keep living with any age related issues ?
Any ideas ?
