    Hey there guys.

    Just picked up an rs125 on the cheap, I know we don't do 125s here, but seeing as you lot are so knowledgeable and helpful.. Plus they say a 2 banger makes twice the power hahaha.

    Anyway, there's a few problems.

    1. Gearbox oil looks like it's had never been changed. There was about 200 ml of black as the night shite in there. Subsequently, rebuild might be on the cards as it finds neutrals all over the place

    2. Top end hasn't been done. Bikes got 20 odd thou on it. So kit is ordered.

    3. Bottom end. Here is my question. There is a distinct tapping/knocking sound at idle. Goes away when you give it. Bottom end bearing?

    Cheers
