Only had the sps a short time and I've killed it allready. belt failed at high speed, and what a mess it is now, big puddle of oil as well. I've got it booked into baines next month due to shortage of pound notes at present, but I suspect parts are going to be a problem to start with. any possible sources of genuine parts peeps. It's probably going to be a massive bill, 3k plus which is not good at present.
Try speaking to Steve Hillary at MotoRapido - he is into 888s in a big way and may have some SPS/Corsa bits, or be able to suggest alternatives. (He's also a bit closer than Baines!)
I think that he is doing a 955 conversion on a SP4/SPO for someone or you could go the 916-crank route that I did when I blew up my 888.................
Ruddy `ell Robin! I didn`t even realise you had got it!Then to hear a belt let go Geoff and John do know what they`re doing thou,if I ever ring them they`re always very helpful.When you say "high speed" do you mean high engine speed or high tarmac speed,or both?
Bloody hell what an absolute bugger very sorry to hear that,I hope you can repair her. the T8s certainly bring out a real passion in owners so stay with it. ian
Not sure I'd go the 955 route though. Originality is everything with rare bikes. It'll cost a lot to repair, but changing things would surely cost you more in the long run.
