Hi guys,
Been running the bike a few weeks ( weather permitting) and I can hear a low frequency rumbling at the low end of the engine (stethascope) its not always there and the bike appears to run OK.
It's had a top end refresh and the camchain is the correct length.
The cam adjuster was broken and is now replaced and I have 125 psi on all 4 cylinders. The carbs were overhauled and set up ok.
Heard horrendous stories of crank bearing failure whilst in the brass cage due to rust when stood some time....mine was.
Would a video help someone diagnose? Anything else to check...oil pump?
Thanks Guys
