Hi All
I'm new to the forum and to C90's and bikes in general. I'm hoping to do an extended trip with my son on C90's, no date set at the moment. I would really like to get to know my way around the engine before the trip so that I can do my own repairs. Are there any members in the Berkshires area who would be happy to share their knowledge and expertise and maybe guide me through a rebuild Inc replacing head, cylinder and piston. She is running fine at the moment with 76000 miles but exhaust is blowing a bit and one of the studs has been snapped off leaving only one nut. The other is very rusty and corroded. Im working on worst case scenario that studs won't come out, hence the head replacement as it's seen better days. I'll try to post some pictures and take advice on whether it really does need replacing. I have already posted about spark plug threads being knackered and plug fouling on something when scewed in tight causing gap to be closed up. (Thanks for reply Wightgi). If there are any C90 experts near me I'd it would be great to meet up and pick your brains. Are the engine's easy to get running again after a removal and rebuild or are they a bit finicky.
Cheers Barry
