went to a motorcycle dealer, he said that i nead a new barrel, piston and rings, head gasket set.

and then he said i would nead to do both cylinders and i would have to renew all the bottom end as well,
so i would be beter of bying  a new engine, niether of which is an option i can undertake at the moment.


got a potential buyer for bike as is stands so i will go down that root.
