No just got it so this is from the previous owner. Unfortunately seems he was either untruthful about the condition of the engine or he was a crap mechanic. After only a few miles I had to park it as engine is making some noises similar to a coffee can with marbles in it. Also bike will barley run and seems starved for fuel. Looks like I will need to tear it down and confirm the condition of at least the top end. More posts to come unfortunately in the tech section.
