    Easy job. Put it in a vice with a small wood block to take the pressure off of the ‘fingers’ (also used to support the end of file to keep it square) and breezed it. Didn’t even need the wig🤪
    Finish off with a flat needle file & wet n dry...
    Just needed the confidence that people have done it before and it’s doable...

    @SpookDog said in Cylinder/exhaust problems:

    I’d be interested as well, specially if you have the head to match...

    Me? If so shoot me a message bud, they all match and they’re even the same pair that come together in Italy nearly 30 years ago

    I tried to unplug the killswitch, but nothing happened. The side stand switch is unplugged. Where is the fuse? Is it with the battery, cause i dont have a fuse there.
