sorted oil pressure, stripped pump, pressure relief vv, checked seals etc. put it back together tried a new gauge, original gauge now fine.
I have now had a few rides out, now sorting a few niggles. had quite a bad oil leak. main one now sorted, my fault, I left the neutral switch out. blanked it off now ok. I think the next one is coming from the primary chain adjusting bolt, not sure but process of elimination is in process. need to look through the Manuel in case I have missed an o ring or seal
2 other concerns.
I have had what I would call pre ignition, like years ago when engine was desperate for a decoke and carried on running when you switch off. it happened twice after 8 or 9 miles. I have felt as if it is running hot since my first start up.
when I removed one of the pipes to fit a clamp I noticed a small pool of oil in the exhaust port. could this burn off in this fashion,
I also thought I would strobe the timing, it appears to be a long way out with the strobe light, marks about 25-30mm before pointer. I doubt that the revs were up to suggested 3500rpmas stated in book. I checked static again today and it was all but spot on as per boyer instructions. could this also contribute to pre ignition.
I have read things suggesting different timing. any suggestions or advice welcome.
the bike rides really well, just need to sort this to gain the trust. cheers Neil
