| Update to \'Aren\'t SP4s wonderful\'
Thanks for the words of support guys!
Some of you suggested the white smoke was water. Probably right but what happened was that the whole right hand casing was blown out (probably de-threading the bolt holes) and the sump instantly emptied - all over my back tyre.
She's being stripped on Monday and I can't wait (dreading) the damage report.
I think the crank was already on it's way out as the bike was sitting idle for some time before I got it. I'm reliably informed that 888 big-ends corrode if left too long (due to them being made out of ally or something)
Just shows how fragile they can get if ignored.
Thanks again for your morale support and I'll bore you some more when I get the damage report back.
Cheers |
