Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,
90,000 miler, was reliable until sprag clutch cried 'enough'.
I've ridden the last 40,000 miles on this and plugs have always been changed at every 3k service.
Just recently I replaced some more parts to try and cure what looked like an air leak on C4.
I took a short run to get fuel and this is what the new plugs look like after 8 miles.
I'm close to thinking this might be the end of the road for this engine.
Thoughts..?
