899 Engine Rebuild

Thank you Simmy, that’s excellent. Really appreciate it.

 

Thanks Andy, I appreciate both the kind thought and you getting back to me.

In case I end up needing a bottom end, would you mind hanging on to it for me for a few days, please?

 

Thanks Andy, that's ace. I'm really grateful.

 

Thanks Nelson, I’ll drop him a line.

 

Hi @Android853sp -I've just dropped you a little mail, hope that's ok.

 

Top man, thank you Andy.

 

Hi Nelson, no, not yet anyway. I’ve been investigating the possibility of getting a ‘health check’ done on the spare engine we’ve got in the first instance. If that’s u/s too, then I’ll be off to the ‘bay I guess.

 

Hi All,

Sorry to necropost this- though I do enjoy saying necropost- but I’m finally in a position to start to put this curse-d bike back together after the ever-awesome @nelly undertook an engine rebuild for me.

Can anyone tell me what coolant should go in the 899, please? And also, what should I torque the bolts that hold the “air box” (the metal shroud that also carries the forks/ headstock etc, forgive me if it’s not called the airbox) on to the top of the engine too, please?

I’d be really grateful for anything anyone could advise.

Thanks in advance you lot.

 

Does any one have any ideas on this, please?
