See this thread, sounds like the old oil seal displacement problem.
Check your gearbox level, I'll bet its overfilled cuz it's filling up with 2-stroke.

Pleased you got it sorted m8

Dont forget to leave a good air gap when you fill the 2-stroke tank, it can easily happen again if you overfill then just push the cap on.

Theres nowhere for the oil to go as you push the cap on so the pressure simply pushes that seal out.

Sounds like the classic oil pump seal problem to me.
Seal can get displaced if the rubber bung has been pushed onto an overfilled tank, allowing the 2-stroke oil to enter the gearbox.
Do a search on oil pump I'm sure you'll find it.

What do you mean by 'not picking up at the top end' ? does it bog down, as in opening the throttle and not alot happens?

Pig,

I use the following method and see if i can fit two fingers between the top of the swingarm and the chain, about halfway between sprockets - this is roughly in the centre of the rubber damping strip. Two fingers = good.

Actually 2 fingers = BAD

3 fingers = good, as told by my local dealers ...

Looks pretty cool

But may I suggest you have a look here as that is not how a Union Jack should look

As soon as you make the red MK2 pikkies available for me to see, I'll place an order if I like them.
So there you go I'm waiting

Not seen the review that we were promised from the admin either, did you send the samples?

of some pikkies of red mk2 sets?

Any idea on price as yet?
I want!
