Yes, back when me and bikes spent a lot of time together...I did my fair share of "breaking their fall" with my body, too...lol.

That's slowed me down from doing some of the basics. The good news is I've got the cam covers and intakes back from the powder coater, have sort of refreshed the water bridge and sort of refreshed the throttle. I've also went to a local 928 day and seen a bunch of flex plates get checked are released which is good to know.
Just be sure to get those powder coated pieces cleaned out...been several horror stories on here lately...of folks who didn't.

Best of luck with your recovery and getting the old girl back on the road.

Brian.

Oh sorry DeWolf. I must have pasted over the response I thought I was writing.

I've done 225,000 kms. I was wondering if yours has too little oil or whether mine as TOO MUCH? I've certainly had issues with oil spouting up everywhere.

Dwayne's intake seemed pretty clean/dry compared to mine.


I'm sure others here could put your mind at rest (or otherwise).
