Hi again, I thought I would remove the exhaust from the forward cylinder to see if there was anything that I could do to stop the excessive blowing from the short pipe from the cylinder to the pipe that runs down the side of the engine.
As I am due out on the bike at 7am I needed to do something even if it was a temporary fix. If you recall I was told that the delay in servicing my bike was due to the fact that this section of pipe needed 2 new o ring seals as they had disintegrated when the pipe had to be removed as part of the service. I was told by Robbie that the seals had been fitted and was duly charged for them £2.90 + vat.
I enclose a picture of the o ring which looks more like a u ring! Can anybody please comment on whether it is usual for a "brand new" o ring to be in this condition 2 weeks or so after fitting. Or does anyone think like I do that the original was put back in as a bodge to enable the bike to be returned quickly to a customer that was already irate.
Sorry bout picture quality but I can assure you the o ring is fecked.
