Good news / Bad news

The Streetfighter started up and runs. Then neat oil started burning off on the exhausts so that stopped the fun. Hoping it is self inflicted from over oiling new air filter. Anyway battery on charge and easy strip down to see if that is what it is. Was concerned about putty like deposits under radiator cap and only being able to half refill. So used 50/50 water / antifreeze and gave it a go. Stayed clear with no overflow but needed half a litre when warmed up. Suspicions of blown head gasket receding but need to nail oil leaksource.Great to be on our way at last - let's hope the motor doesn't need major work and I can get on with the cycle parts.
