Smoking ZXR400

Hi Folks,
Sorry for holding up proceedings on Tuesday before lunch, when the bike decided that it was going to dump its oil into the bellypan after spraying all over the red hot headers, gave me a nasty fright I can tell you.

The reason for the oil dumping was that the young lad who loaned me the bike had not locktighted the bolts that hold the oilcooler feed & return pipes to the base of the sump, as the rather blurred picture attached (sorry) shows the front bolt is missing from one of the pipes. The bike is now back with him and he will be locktighting them this time, Oh, by the way he is a plumbing & heating engineer by trade, Mmmm he installs pipes etc for a living, says it all I guess, only joking Rick
