Lots and lots of thick oily shite round the front sprocket and swing arm pivot. Usual stuff, I see it all the time with bikes that come into me though this was a particularly heavy build up, but clearing it out led to a couple of interesting discoveries.
The build up of thick black clag meant nothing in this area had any definite shape, it was all just a homologous black sticky region, so I was surprised to find this once I'd cleared the gack out:
[Rolf]Can you tell what it is yet?[/Rolf]
It's an allen key! A bonus tool for the garage tool box
I also made this discovery, not so good. Glad I found it in time!
Is this the Bubsywoo MkII issue people are finding or do you reckon it's because there's a nut missing from the back of the pivot bolt? No wonder the stand had so much play in it when it was down!! Also there are no wires coming out of the side stand switch, minor detail.
All easily rectifiable stuff, just a bit surprising
