August 16, 200719 yr Author All done =) Engine's back together and waiting to be put back on the bike. I've taken loads of pictures so will do a full write-up soon. One question though, it seems quite stiff when I kick it over, is this normal? bearing in mind there's no oil in it yet.

I'm half tempted to ask what oil you all use Lol =)
