Well today....
I took off the sump guard so I could re-paint it. This is a job I've been meaning to do since the wales weekender.

also checked around for any loose bolts / cables etc...found one of the starter bolts a little loose..well very loose..I could undo it with my fingers :shock: and also found one of the bell housing bolts in the same state ,double :shock:
all my fault by the way, I think that i may have been a bit hastey in finishing up when I done the rear crank seal.

will pop some before and after piccies of the sump guard tomorrow (I'm in work tonight and can't get piccies off phone and into photobucket on this machine)
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes
