How many miles are on your bike?
The bike has done 65k, but I've just put on new chain and sprockets, air filter, brake pads and had new headset bearings installed.
Frankly, had I known the engine would break, I'd have thought about getting a replacement, but now I've done all that work, I'll stick with it.
The workshop has picked up the bike today and they're going to have a look and see if it's fixable.
If not, I'll get the new engine sent down tomorrow and then I can practice working on the old one.
