Still working away on the project. Today got the new tyre valves on, gave it a wee run up and down the driveway. It smelled quite strongly of fuel. So I turned the mix down a little bit. Still doing it. Also, i decided to check oil etc, Couldnt see anything in the window, popped the filler cap. Uh-oh white gunk all over it and down in the clutch housing, pop out the clutch rod and ended up with the below. im now worried something is seriously wrong, left it a couple of hours hanging out, came back and its pretty much dry, thinking its maybe been condesation in it. Anyone got any ideas? or give me a step for a hint on anything else to check  |

White gunk is caused by condensation mixing with the oil. Very common when a bike is used for short journeys or just started up and run for a short time.

It just keeps getting better. the plugs for cylinder 3 and 4 are black/oily. Any ideas and ways to check?
Also, managed to sheer a clutch pressure plate bolt, was going to fix the rattly clutch basket, didnt have a socket big enough for the main bolt, think its maybe 26-28mm, went a bit too tight putting them back on and sheered one so need a new one of them, fortunately got the stub out no bother

To cure white gunk - take a trip long enough to get the engine nice and hot for half an hour or so.
I did and it worked a treat.
