I have not looked at it yet, but have decided to get the forks rebuilt and have the head bearings changed while I am at it. Just need to rig up some heath Robinson affair to get the front off the ground so I can strip it all down.

I cannot detect any play, sticking, notching etc in the head bearings with the front off the ground, but its 13 years old and has not been done before so its about time. I have a track day at Oulton coming up in July so intend to have it all finished well before that.

I also have an oil leak from the base of the front cyclinder (I think, its not entirely obvious where the oil is coming from) so will be kept busy in the garage for the next couple of weekends.
