January 25, 20188 yr Just got back into trials and picked up a tidy 06 Rev3 270 whick looks to have had an easy life. Im planning on a strip and reassembly replacing fluids, bushes, bearings and seals where needed. Stickers are ok but will replace them during the rebuild. Other than cleaning the stator housing and sealing the cable rubber are there any other top tips to do to improve things? Cheers ?

January 26, 20188 yr Water pump case is magnesium & is a guaranteed banker for rot for a bike that age. Last one I bought cost about £90. You might get lucky & be able to repair using Belzona 1111 or similar. Offshore industry uses Belzona regularly to repair pipework on seawater systems. Have you thought about using waterless coolant. Not cheap, but neither are magnesium cases.

January 27, 20188 yr Author Started work today doing the few bits I know need attention, got my first trial in a long time on the 4th feb so that will showup any more issues. I need to sort the carb to stop the common leaking issue, info on TC was helpful.
