So, I have a lovely set of once over rebored and refurbished Kettle barrels with a full set of new genuine Suzi pistons, rings, little end bearings etc. Cost a bomb.
I decided to dig them out to get ready to fit when, to my horror, one of the piston sets was missing! I hunted high and low for it for most of the day until I realised.. There are only three pots on a Kettle, not four.,
Wot a twonk

And you're only 60 Kev, wait till you get to Alans age. (Cos he's a lot older than you, and me )
It is a bit worrying though especially when working on a bike, checking and double checking. Perhaps the MOT exemption isn't such a good idea.

Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

I'm glad I haven't worked on Trikes in the past, I'd still be looking for the third wheel

Oi, have less with the ageist stuff.
I feel like an 18 year old nowadays - trouble is finding one with no taste...........
Did you get all the valves fitted in the kettle cylinder head as well Kev?

Re: I've been working on GS's too long
Now that’s strange as I’ve just rebuilt my Katana motor up and it went together very easy. I did have a couple of odd looking shafts with lumpy bits on them and a chain left over? I think Suzuki must have supplied a spare drive chain when the bike was new and two clubs to keep thieves at baycanaletto5 wrote:Took three lump hammers mate, the cam chain was the hardest to fit
