Hi, I'm restoring an XS1 and and am looking for advice. At some point a previous owner has reassembled the crankcases without locating the crankshaft main bearing dowels in the roller bearings, and has pushed the dowels back into the cases, causing small cracks to appear. I have had the dowels spark eroded out and replaced but the cracks are, of course still there! My thinking is that because the mains are roller (rather thaen plain) the cases themselves will not be taking too much load and so the cracks will not be a problem if I am sensible with the throttle. What do you think; Am I about to build a hand grenade or can I sleep easy at night?
By the way, I'm based in England and will have to register my ex-Califronia bike on a local UK 'age related' plate so the exact month/year of manufacture makes a differeence to what plate I get. Does anyone know exactly what month/year engine/frame number 002226 was made?
Thanks for any thoughts...
