For those who witnessed the demise of the Green Beast at Krambach Pub during the Nabiac Weekend,,,
It has returned from the brink :woohoo:Some called it the “Doomed Kwaka” etc etc,,, but it seems the catastrophic looking oil leak was caused by a crack in the cam chain tensioner housing, which let the oil out past the O-ring :whistle:
There was one valve pretty much closed but the others were still within tolerance after 19,640ks
So with some thrifty shed time I managed to machine the shim down (on an oilstone):laugh: and it roared back to life first push on the button!!!
There are some more shims on order & expected to arrive early this week, `spose I will put em in the spares kit for a rainy day…..ps. the days of the commuter are numbered anyway, as there is a plan of a new steed for the shed (decision has been made & cemented after many months of thought & a few test rides) should be about 2 -3 months before the unveiling of the new machine,,,,,, NO HINTS either it is a secret:P
Good on ya Eag’s…nothing like a bit of Kwaka CPR :cheer:
New bike eh ????
what could it be…what could it be ?
if it’s orange i will kick you square in the nutsLooking forward to finding out what it is…i’m excited for ya :cheer:

Eags that is an awesome result mate, a fantasic DIY showing that anyone can do it themselves with a manual some patience. Bloody ripper mate well done
Can’t say the same for this one Beags.
Hears a tip for ya, don’t leave ya bike too close to a burning caravan.
:laugh: I tell ya Scotty,,, That was the thought that crossed my mind when it stopped the other week:unsure:
Thanx Mick, I did have that proud feeling when it kicked first go
Surprised myself I can tell ya,,,
First time I have done any work like that, but it was pretty easy really, just take ya time, mark things for visual reassembly & away ya go :woohoo:Nice one eags
