I mentioned in my 400 thread that I had bought this bike. Now I bought it blind and it was delivered to Inverness for me and I drove down to pick it up. Now the intention with this bike was to do a few jobs on it and get it ready for the mot test (how wrong was I) there's so many niggling little jobs on it I've lost count and in truth I'm a bit gutted because its gonna take a lot off work before I sit my bike test if it is to be ready for me to use. The first thing I did when I got it was connect a battery and make sure it was turning over ok. That went well so I jacked it up and dropped the oil and that's where the problems started. The engine was full of water and creamy sludge. I've since flushed it out twice with used oil but I can't get the sludge to disappear. I'm gonna do it one more time this time removing and cleaning the oil filter before I do before I decide if I'm gonna remove the engine for a rebuild. There's loads of other little jobs but nothing major compared to the engine problems. On the plus side its got usd forks billet yokes huge front brakes with bandit 1200 wheel and its had a tail swap so not all bad. If any one can suggest anything to diagnose my engine problem that would be really helpful. Here's some pics for ya just now.
