Cylinder Head ??

Results 1 to 8 of 8
  1. #1
    Out for a run this afternoon. Nothing heroic just a nice wee run. After 15 - 20 miles starts feeling like she's running on 3 cylinders but not misfiring and every time I accelerate I get a cloud of greyish smoke. Think it could be the cylinder head. Anything else it could be?????

    Thanks

    Well she’s back. W33RHS rides again complete with a new engine, clutch and flywheel. Douglas and the lads at B&M Centre did and amazing job getting her all up and running again. Special thanks to Nathan for all his hard work and keeping me well informed. Really appreciate it guys.
    By the way if any of you see me on the road please feel free to stop me and put a tenner in the collection can I’ve stuck to the back window.������
