Looks about as shit as my £50 runner when i got it.

It's well worth doing a decent spray job first time round though =)

got rid of the runner, but started thinking of what bike to get next so i got one

MINE AGAIN! :rofl: (kind of)

the engine had been took off so i pulled it in my kitchen and started getting to work on stripping it, had trouble getting the flywheel of so asked wobbly for advise, usless :P got it off anyway in the end.

cranck looks good, bearings look feel and sound good so all im going to do is change the water pump, fit a gasket set and run it for a while then fit a new piston and rings :D

not gonna bother, they look good to me, if they looked bad in anyway i would replace them, like i said i would with the cranck, but the cranck has no wears or scores on it so im leaving it

the bikes a pile of shit, so dont really care, just wanna have aplay on it for a few days
