I think it was a few things to be honest, head, head gasket, missing o-ring ect.
And no, not yet, will do one day though .....

Think its the main end bearings and/ or the big end bearing
Going to split the crank cases and find out a bit later on.

Had such a good day today, bike seems ok, didn't have a back brake at all, it needs sorting at some point, the front brake was trying to kill me aswell so that needs looking at. There is a lot of engine braking on the TLR, and it's really low geared so wasn't to much of a problem.
The bike took some stick and didn't bat an eye lid, Should just about be run in by now too I think.
It's running rich, so need to have a play with plug heat ranges, or the mixture/needle height.
