Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies, I am hoping to get out on the 550 on Wednesday day she’s been resting in the garage for a while so will see how it goes. The t500 suffered a bit of a wiring problem recently so that’s taking a bit of time to sort out, more smoke out of the head lamp than out of the pipes. Thanks for the welcomes

Hmmm, thought I'd replied to this one - ah well. :roll:
Welcome to the madhouse John, and a nice selection of air cooled Suzies. Hopefully we'll get to Squires 'soon' for a pie & coffee on the 550s.

Hi Alan,
It will be good when we can get to some bike nights again, I know Rich100 and he’s up for a ride out to squires on the 550s so May see you there, we’ll look forward to that. I’ve a bit of work on it planned tomorrow ,some how the pump cable as caught on the adjuster leaving the pump open and flooded the crank with 2 stroke oil plus the middle cylinder, so she’s locked at the moment

At least it will drain if you unscrew the SRIS valves under each crankcase. Hopefully, you didn't completely hydrolock the engine and hurt anything.
If oil has got into the cases though, the valves on the end of the pump spider pipes must be dodgy.
