Flamin' 'ell. Shoulda kept the 750. It won't need as much work. Still will watch the revival with interest. Good luck |

Right, got my screwdriver and hammer out and started chipping away at this mess Oil leaked since last week  Most of it gone from the left side  It wasn't wood, must of been a type of filler or something. With silicone and black tape covering some of it   Almost there and found the problem smiley-rolleyes008  There is a piece off the bottom where the cover sits against the crankcase and two bolt holes have broken parts  Missing chunk and broken bolt hole  The other bolt hole which still works with a bolt being tightened up in it  The only issue this side was one rounded bolt (hit a socket on it used some plus gas and it came out) and no gasket so was leaking slightly.  Oh and the buggered repaired case     |

Oh and the buggered repaired case You forgot to say badly, think you need to have a proper look round the bike. If that's the standard the previous owner worked to. |
