Re: Shift drum neutral position
Checked as per Gray’s suggestion, looks good to me, lines up exactly with the sensor hole.

Shift drum neutral position
The gears are definitely in the neutral position, having checked full 1 to 5 movement by spinning gear with drill and going up and down the box with the gear lever. My question is, the shift drum face position looks at odds with the pics in the manual. The metal gap is at 9 o’clock where as it is ab...

Checking Gear Backlash
When trying to complete the check as per manual pic below, it seems impossible to hold (by hand) the drive shaft gear in a fixed state so you can check the backlash on the output shaft gear. The DTI gauge is all over the place. Have people successfully managed this check and what method did they use...

Crank Services Recommendations
I have asked elsewhere but trying again.
Can anyone recommend a good crank services guy in the Yorkshire area, or perhaps further a field? They seem thin on the ground for bike engines.
Checking for true, balance and weld.
With thanks

Re: Oil Pump Main Gear Play
Thanks for jumping in Gray. I will answer your questions as best as I can. The pump is out of the engine, so your suggestions re installation / fit to crank are n/a in this case. I am asking about the main gear on it's shaft. So possibly the central hole in the main gear is worn, oval or otherwise. ...

Oil Pump Main Gear Play
Cant find anything on this in the manual so maybe it is not important...
There is visible play of the main gear on it's shaft. See vid..... sorry cant attach .mov file from my mobile, the play is about 1 mm
Is this normal / acceptable?

Re: LTD Engine Refresh
Thanks Zed and R3.
Timesert kit very expensive.
If going for a Helicoil kit can anyone recommend a “good quality kit” as suggested…. I would not know good from bad.

Re: LTD Engine Refresh
So suitably recovered from over consumption and a mild cold… I got on with cleaning out all the threads after the aqua blast. I noticed a well mangled spark plug thread in the head. The bottom half is good, is there an argument to say that, if the hole is cleaned up a bit, that there is enough threa...
