I just bought another thermostat today. I'll mount it tomorrow and come back with feedback.

The thing that I'm worried about is that the first 100 miles that I rode it this year the needle was in the middle all the time (and it was by far colder than now) no matter if I was moving or staying still. Then one day I went for a ride and the needle didn't get upper than the red line shown in th...

The thing is that I already replaced the thermostat. Even so, there may be a small chance that the new one that I bought could be faulty as well. I'm going to buy another one. The thing is that I want to know where the needle should be when I'm riding. Shouldn't be where the green line is and stay t...

Within a half a minute or so; sometimes even a minute.

So, I start the bike, let it get up to temperature, get on it and start riding. As soon as the bike moves the needle on the temperature gauge drops to the position indicated with the red line in the picture. Is that where it's supposed to be when the bike is moving or should it be where the green li...

WOW man! You've made one of the best looking 1000's that I've ever seen

Would it be ok to move the engine in the frame to the L/H side to compensate for the sprocket alignment when swapping the rear wheel? I'm talking about removing 2-3 mm from the L/H side engine mount so that it can move to the left and adding those 2-3 mm to the R/H side mount so that it would compen...

Thanks mate! Once again you are my hero!

Can you please tell me the name of that silicon rubber? maybe I can find it on ebay.

Y-Geo, Will the silicon glue resist the temperatures in that area? The quantity of oil that comes out trough that area is not that great. But, not only that it pisses me off that I still have loses of oil even as insignificant as that, the massive ammount of air that flows through that area will spr...

Nik, Thank you for your support. I already bought a 8x21x6 mm seal on ebay. And I also bought some O rings for the water pipe from a local store. I hope that I will be able to replace them A.S.A.P. Now I must fix the problem with the oil coming out trough the crankcase seal. The leak is hardly notic...

I think I'm gonna make a small ditch where the crankshaft cases meet an put some JB weld in there. Hope that this will stop the "bleeding".
