…going to run without jamming the exhaust valve open again?

That is the question i will be asking myself over the next few days or weeks.

So, after the exhaust started jamming again yesterday, i took the cylinder head off again and took it over to the local expert’s place (who had kindly offered to help me out again) and we found that the valve hadn’t been cut to fit the seat perfectly and was still allowing the exhaust gasses through on some of its sides.

We ground it down to fit perfectly and i put it back on the bike this evening. I then let it tickover for a while and took it out on two short rides (1x 500yd and 1x 2 miles) and it seems to be running well, at least for the moment.

Overall a good day, motorbike wise, but let’s see how things go from now on…
