Swapped the bars out for some 758's. Got a local engineering company to tap the ends to accept the original bar end weights.Feels a lot better, something I always noticed after riding my DRZ and that MT10.Still toying with the idea to raise them an inch or not.

I am considering doing to same, but will probably shorten them to the same width as the originals.
Loosely fitted these

Took the carbs off, blew out all the jets and cleaned the float bowls, then fitted the replacement ignition coils from Gheeks.Then, just before firing it up, thought I'd take the blanking plug out of the lower spout in the exhaust can.Bikes running superbly now and sounds a treat.
washed it and noticed the washer that should be behind the front sprocket not behind the front sprocket but under the casing where i keep the gunk and upon further inspection ,sure enough my nut had gone walkabout i thought it was only the 600's that threw off there nuts so she will be stayin put untill the new one arrives,,ill have to make do with the apprillia
Went back later and retrieved the chain, it's fucked mate, not repairing that. You can quite clearly see the crank and conrod. Most of the chunks were resting on the frame and the smaller bits inside the sprocket cover. Think the oil coming out prevented anything entering the crank.Going to take it off the road and source an engine or complete donor bike. Shit happens mate.
was at the bottom of my road giving it a handful in 2nd over a lump in the road. Chain snapped and holed the crankcase. My own fault, just one of those things.
