Rubbish. Jet wash carefully avoiding bearings and electrics. Airbox and exhaust blocked. START bike after washing to ensure it doesnt condensate in the engine. 30 years tried and tested.

To be fair that was my understanding of it....

  • Take the plug out so it's easier to turn the motor by hand. The squeak is just as the motor comes to a stop so rotate it slowly an listen carefully.

  • Was worried that was the case.... dunno.... not sure but one way to find out.... ?

  • Squeaking at the same crank position and sounds like hard rubbing metal to metal, Have you got the spark plug out so you can rule out any compression force an just be spinning the crankshaft? and

so youve never had an ignition cover leak in 30 years on a trials bike?

the poster above never appeared to block either air box or exhaust?

what and where would "condensate" if no water got in?

Yep and the exhaust.... sealing is crap on the top. Apart from the clay on the wheels its only ever dusty, it doesn't take much spraying.... the air it displaces shifts most of the dust.
