Calm down, don't panic.............lol.......

I do not think for one moment it will be the head, just start at the beginning and check levels, sender etc.

I changed the oil on my old Senna last week, I noted on re-filling her she took less oil than usual but the level was perfect even after running the engine and yet 2 days later the oil suddenly settled and she needed a good top up.

If it does turns out to be a head I have 2 completely refurbished ones heres complete and ready to fit. New guides, valves, rockers etc. Drop me a PM if you get desperate.

thing is it was flickering before i had it serviced and when they serviced it they said i had good compression in both cylinders my water sytem kept pressurisin but that was due to the cap being faulty all tho it did do it again the other day

If the engine has "gone" ie, big end, bearings, shells, whatever, then the engine should sound different, slightly more rattly than normal!! You might not notice any power difference till the engine really lets go.

But that is all worst case scenario... Lots of people seem to fix it with the oil switch thingy
