Light at the End of.
Intrepidly managed to get bike, ass and head in gear and did a flat slow 10 mile out & back.
Tick over very high, gear selection difficult and a little bluers.
Bike felt secure, brakes worked as did suspension.
Gear selection improved a lot, tickover elektriks sorted themselves out and the bluers diminished. No change in oil level.
All in all a great relief.

Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?
