Warranty work continuing..

The noisy topend was diagnosed as stuffed header seals ?. Could have fooled
me. The noise sounds like a stuffed cam chain tensioner (the sound is a
werr,werr,werr noise, rather than a tick-tick-tick noise). However, that's
what they have faulted, and they know what they are doing. I hope that's
the problem. I've been waiting a few weeks now for the parts to come in.
If that's all it is, then I don't mind waiting.

Another problem, my oil level indicator (oil rising pipe) split and is leaking.
So that is on order as well. I cleaned it up and glued a patch on it. It doesn't
leak now, so I can wait as long as I like on that one as well.

Just minor pissy shit really. The biggest worry is the noisy topend. At
the moment, the bike sounds like an old late 70's CB1100 that has never
had a value clearance check. We'll see. I'm just going to ride it as normal
for now.
