Hi all, stripped and rebuilt the engine this weekend. Didnt find reason for loss of gearbox oil, but rebuilt it with new main bearings and crank seals so I hope that will settle it. Found the source of the squeal. (Balance shaft and bearings were OK). It was one of the selector forks running dry in ...

Thanks for the info. Might not get chance to have another look till the weekend but I will post what I find.

Do you know if the engine will burn gearbox oil by pulling it past the crankshaft seals or do I have another problem to look for?

Wobbli.

Hi all,
My Mk 2 has started squealing loudly, a bit like a slipping belt on a car. Any ideas please?
It did about 20 miles yesterday before starting to squeal. It doesnt seem to matter if the clutch is in or not, but you can see the drive sprocket twitching even in neutral. I therefore drained the ...

Hmmm, another step closer. Your info was about right Jon. Found the connector, its got 5 wires, and also found a note scribbled on the back of the manual that the previous owner gave me. It says
Orange LH ind
Grey RH ind
Green Tail light
Green yellow earth
Brown brake
I guess those are the wires I ...

Thanks Jon, I am working on the bike tonight (Thursday), so I will let you know how I get on in due course. wobbli.

Hi, I have just bought a CRM that I would like to MOT, but the wiring to the rear indicators is missing. Can anyone tell me where abouts I pick up the wiring in the engine area?
I have 3 wires going to the back for the rear light, earth, side light and brake light, but nothing else, and I cant find ...
