The money that's going to cost to sort you could have bought my 1000ds Mulitstrada and used its v low mileage motor then sold off the rest of the bike.
It had done less than 10k but a old style Multi has no real value so was sold for less the the motor was prob worth on its own.

Multi engine is not a direct swap Scrapps, swing arm mounting is different

That's a shame as u can pick up early ones for silly money. I traded mine in with less than 10k on the clock(less than 1k per year)

Move the crate with the frying pan that stores the puncture kit and you could fit at least one more bike in there.

That's just GREEDY!!!!

Envying and admiring your mechanical prowess though.

You're not really trying hard enough, there's room for at least 3 more in there...

I'll be switching from 10w40 to 20w50 after the rebuild.

I'd be going the other way and using fully synthetic 0w50 in there if it was me. It's far better for a race engine and will lubricate better at all temperatures. Castrol Power 1 Racing is a good one Rob.

You could fit a couple of wasps in the gaps there nae boller Rob!

I said it earlier Rob. I is fooked.Good luck on the rebuild.

And you could definitely start stacking your bikes to get more in there !

Thank you - but someone asked what caused the failure.

It's guys like me who spent their working life on engine and gearbox design that allows guys like you to ride bikes (assuming you do ride)

I've never thought engineering design to be a NERD job?

J.P · 04-04-2013, 10:55 AM

I do ride and I do appreciate the wonders of engineers around the world for allowing me to do what I love.

That goes for the flushing toilets too.

A new crank is definitely on the cards, after a couple of discussions it makes sense. It's obviously been very hot and it's hard to say what effect this will have had on the metal structure. Building a tuned motor around this clearly may end in tears and work out way more expensive in the long run.

Keep 'em coming though, Zhango.
Don't let jp's playful taunting put you off.
Its bikes after all....how can that be nerdy ?
And I for one have often appreciated your informed comment.
