only running engine on centre stand,

[Super_Monkey]

For what its worth, I picked up a TDM850 cheap as it had a big end bearing issue, pulled the engine out, stripped it , looked at the rods and sure enough one of the bearings was fucked, the other was fine, spoke to a mate who's been a bike mechanic for longer than time itself (yeah yeah I know) and he said that that is a known problem with TDMs as some owners run the engine and leave it ticking over on the sidestand , all the oil does run to one side of the engine and causes the very problem this engine had.


Bollocks??? What do you think?
