Welcome Gregor. Enjoy the 990. They can be a bit fiddly due to their age but they make up for it in riding plessure..

I can spread the word on some PE whatsapp groups. If you want please send me some info. Maybe a pindrop and a contact number. Wil copy the above message. Better yet i can ask to have you added to these groups that way you can send out info regarding planning and events ect yourself.

Outside of the RSA you can buy blue anodised Excel rims but the importers does not import or want to get them, i tried to get a blue set for my 990...

The opinion stated here is my own. Not the opinion of the manufacturer. Dirt in via the airfilter can wear piston/rings/sleeves and valves . Causing the valve clearance to become to small and the cam follower to ride on the cam and increase wear and drop in compression, but these engines can...

Another thing is the oil itself. I see they specify a 20w50 for the mini. Not sure if there is anything else needed for the gearbox but i recon it wil be fine with a decent oil like gtx or rimula or total quarts. This is an old type engine with quite large clearances. So if the oil is too thin...

I will not bother with valvestem seals. The seals are designed to allow a minute amount off oil past them to lubricate the valve stem and guide anyway. They cause heavy smoking on start up. When they are shot oil will collect on the spring side and leak down slowly when the engine is off and sit...

@Off Road Cycles @Kamanya . The bike in the pics is this the std one with a Rally EX stickerkit?

Another "Nanny" mode, to help keep the hippos selling.. younger people dont buy bikes so they are only left to sell bike to the older generation of people.. so automatic it should be. Like in cars. One to stop and one to go.. less to think about and fokus on the road...

If it is not pushing out coolant i doubt that there is blown head gasket. That will also cause it to overheat in +-10km or less of normal driving. My best bet is cylinder nr 3 that is black is where oil is burning causing the smoke. Valvestem seal will smoke on sartup an go away. Oil ring/s...

It could just be oil rings that is stuck. Will need to read a bit back. Have the engine been rebuild? The plugs with the brownish white tips shows airfuel is as good as it will be on unleaded. The sludge in the cooling system could be residue that was inside the engine that came loose also just...
