I went through the whole installation process in my mind thinking if and where I messed up. The evidence is just not there. Not that it is any concellation because the repair bill is going to be huge regardless. But it would be nice to understand what went wrong though.....
The only thing I can remember that bugged me then was the fact that the oil level was perfect in the sight glass before I went on holiday two weeks back. When I came back from holiday I changed the belts and noticed that the oil level covered the whole sightglass screen. I did start the bike, let it idle for 10 seconds and then switched it off and checked the sight glass again. There was no milk in the oil and the level eased out at the top mark having left the bike standing for about 3 to 4 minutes. (My thought was that the water pump seal may have allowed water to pass into the gear casing causing the rise in the oil level.) If that was the case then the oil should have turned white almost instantly if the engine was allowed to run for a few seconds.
