    eek Guess what I learnt today.

    1. What that knocking noise from the crankcase was...
    2. The cost of a full engine rebuild.







    There goes $2000. Ah well.

    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    The bottom end is the expensive part, mine was an ex racing bike. The cranks should last a lot longer on the road. Top end rebuilds are cheap enough though.

    Sweet lord! 10k!!! I think I'd just sell it for spares and buy something else for that price - hope it was awesome after all that ping got thrown at it.
    Keep it rubber-side down...
