renten is on a distinguished road
So today I finally got it running again
First start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQQVUhJMRAs

It took 4 weeks for cylinder nikasil restore. Then over a week because stupid postage and customs problem...
Got engine back yesterday. It took me from 7.30 PM to 00:00. Next day 8.30am to 2:00PM to get everything back onto frame.. It was pain in the ass to get the crash bars fitting. And everything else... just tiny problems that took over 30 minutes to fix each...
Bought new chain with front 14 sprocket and rear 45. Chain is DID 520VX2 and sprockets are JT. Also extra 4L motul 5000 10w40 with filter.




Painted the exhaust.... nice and shiny...

But... that paint is awful(Motip heat resistant spray 800c). It came off sooo easly and when I started the bike outside, then the rain washed it off instantly...



It was raining in the evening. But when you have not ridden over a month... It doesn't matter at all what weather you have outside. And what would be better to break in the engine in easy forest trails where you can use different rev's.
