Engine's Off, What Now?

Hi all

Took the engine off the bike today, I'm gonna check the woodruff and the piston and thought it would be easier to work on with the engine off.

Is there anything else that you'd recomend doing whilst the engine's off?

i.e. I've got some new petals sitting here doing nothing, would they be worth replacing?

Cheers

You certainly didn't need to remove the engine to check the woodruff key, but whilst you've got it out I suppose you may be well advised to check the piston rings and bore for damage especially since you did run it without oil in the fuel.

If the petals are new then there would be no harm in replacing the old ones, making sure that they fit closely together as I believe is shown in the manual.

I'd have a good look at the woodruff key first.

Good luck,

Bob
