[QUOTE="ianstaley, post: 167223, member: 2989"] Hi all so a couple of questions about two entirely different things, so the easy one first. Now my bike (engine) has been standing around for well over the sell by date. As most will know she is slowly being rebuilt. Theory the engine was running okay when parked up so should be no different now. However some items may well be past saving and for that reason and the amount of money she has cost up to now, no point in spoiling the machine buy penny pinching. So on the clutch I have bought a complete set of new clutch plates, now in between there are steel plates, they should have nothing wrong with them but now comes the sting in the tail I have read somewhere about one plate that is different to all the rest and I am sure someone said just replace it with a steel one. I am correct in that assumption. Now part two of the question. as these bikes were made at the time of Premium, or 98 octain and 95 octain petrol lead free wasn't available over here on Europe for a long time after the bike was originally sold. What about valves and valve seats in our bikes, if they were never meant to run on lead free and now ethanol I think petrol what is the opinion of the members on make the effort and change the seats and the valves? :read: Ian [/QUOTE]
