Bike: 999R / 998 Bayliss

CJ, you should have an email in your inbox that arrived over the weekend.

I still can not understand where I messed it up. The marks are still visible on the pulleys and they ligned up exactly as they should, but the piston face tells a seperate story. A warning for people who fly in blindly into an engine, definately. My other bike is now standing there half naked after I replaced the main drive gear bearings on it. All I now have to do is torque the clutch basket nut and fill her up with oil and take her for a ride...... That should have been done three days ago, but the old confidence took a kick in the clackers somewhere in there.....

Will keep you posted how the surgery progress
