[QUOTE="KennyNUT, post: 57276, member: 3057"] 34 years and not 24 years :eek: - maybe it is me that needs the refresh after all. Thanks, Robert. To Martyn G, Boggler and CollingsBob, also thanks. Never thought about the valve springs. So the bottom end should be good? Some comments around the engine running is that it sounds quiet enough, ie not much mechanical noise, so should be good. So the consensus is a top end refresh and liner/piston check work should be enough. (I am afraid I don't have any indicators around the mileage. When I bought the bike it had 500 miles showing, not that that had me fooled! All other stuff like electrics, charging, starting carburation etc all feels fine, so no worries on any of that stuff. Thanks again. Time to get the big spanners out, a call to Simon Linford and a call to Conways. Cheers, Kenny. :) [/QUOTE]
