Usually you can hear pitted cam and followers... Some crafty bastard knew what they were doing when they sold that bike..
Weird one this, we knew the previous owner, and the one before that - the bike has decent history, and I’d find it hard to believe either of the last two owners knew of this - one we know very well, and one an acquaintance but local to us.
There’s a stamp in the log book for a service at NOG in 2014, and according to the odo the bike has done less than 200 miles since then.
The oil we dropped out of it was very odd though - black and thin, and not commensurate with a recent oil change, and no metal in it.
Perhaps the person we bought it from would like to comment, but I don’t mind that this work is being done, it will be better than stock and I won’t be worrying (so much) that’s it’s going to die on a long trip
