It’s all good guys I’m happy with the information I’ve gotten so far so a bit of banter is fun.

I got home in the daylight this arvo so I put another load of oil in it then ran it down the road for a few minutes and wound it out. The bike felt good still and sounded even with the air filter off. I dropped the oil again and the bottom screen and filter and the filter looked fine and the oil has white particles in it but its a looooot better! I took some pics of the oil dumps for you guys

This is the very first load that was in it. Looks worse IRL believe it or not. The bottom is cruddy and looks like dodgy mould and water.

[TrentMember]

Another pic of the same oil :blink:

[TrentMember]

2nd load looking better but still horrible.

[TrentMember]

No pic of the 3rd lot because its in an opaque bottle so here’s the 4th lot which is the 3rd fresh flush since the 1st is the original oil.

Looking much better but there’s still fine white particles floating around. After I dumped this one I put the next load in and took it for a run and have since dumped that oil and its in the shed draining now.

I’ll get a pic of the shed too that should get some good laughter and gibberish

Good stuff, oil that’s starting to look like the colour of oil and a singing bike- it’s all good, and no need to look back!.
PS check the throttle cables are free when remounting the tank – (what’s that old saying – do as I say, not as I do……!)
Cheers

Starting to get there Trent, looking at the pics it must have had a fair dousing with water!

[TrentMember]

Yeah the silly bugger fell into a lake so deep all that 383 could see of him was his helmet peak and a bar end then he panicked and leapt out forgetting about the bike and had to get back in for it If only I had the camera aimed on him it would’ve been a lifelong priceless moment to show his kids how to impersonate a hippo :p

Picked myself up a cheap set of PHDS clamps off ebay this morning so I’m stoked

[Anonymous]

Let me know how the PHDS goes, I had considered it for a while, would be interested to see what you think

[TrentMember]

There was another set on there that I was going to post up about but someone bought it now at $300.

I’ll try and do a write up but I’m not too experienced with ergos etc so It’ll just be what I can feel and put into words

[Anonymous]

Sounds good to me mate

Are you giving the bike a run at the weekend? Where is your bro’ in all this too?
