[QUOTE="ianstaley, post: 167257, member: 2989"] Looks like I got my arse kicked there John so now I have read your explanation, as yet I don't even know if the clutch needs doing, and I think I said it sat in the back of my mind so have probably read it before on wingovations. As for the valves ok so they are safe, I know of several 70 early 80's cars that have had hardened rings fitted in to the cylinder heads because of the unleaded problem, a lot of the were Volvo's, my old V8 rover had to have the ignition retarded because of that very reason of pinking and over run. So as the bike is from the same ere may be they had the same problem. Now I know I don't have to worry when I get back into the garage to do some work. So going to source a couple of steel plates but until I look I won't know for definite. Ah John have you ordered the discs for me my friend. So I can tell you what is going to happen this week, I will start on the forks rebuild as I can do that in my tiny workshop in the house. Thanks for all the comments and I like it when you lot of m8ts tell it like it is. I am not an engineer well only a software engineer. Hard engineering is just a hobby. Getting very forgetful in my twilight. Thanks again guys. Ian [/QUOTE]
