Drained the gear oil and it was like thick mayonaise!

Looks like someone drowned the bike before and left it, gear box was full of clay/mud, wasnt a nice sight at all, also the side casing gasket was just intsant gasket and the water and oil had also been mixing..... :roll:

Put in new main bearings, balancer shaft and bearings and a new piston kit as the old looked in a bad way, no damage to barrell though. Just putting engine back in frame now, parts came next day from leisure trail, well impressed !

Got a question about the powervalve .... will start a new thread for that one...

Well at least you paid a price for the bike that gives you the spare cash to carry out a bit of refurbishment and still have value for money. My ARs had clean oil, immaculate top ends and run near silently with no rumbles or whines but still cost a few quid to sort out.

On subject of powervalves, mine were carboned up, the carbon was restricting range of movement on the valves, but stripped them all and cleaned them up carefully and refitted with a new set of o rings, they are now floppy free with no restriction. The powervalve motors with new cables now have an easier time flipping them about.

I think that as 3 of my ECUs were faulty the powervalves were not moving all the time or giving full movement, allowing carbon build up abnormally.

There is a view that carbon build up causes the PV to stick or sieze at least over part of its movement. This causes the PV servo to draw more current from the ECU and thus the ECU 'blows'.

So keeping the PV clear of carbon build up helps keep the ECU working :?: .
