as always, if anyone needs specific how to's done, I can do them, I haven't really bothered because looking at the service manual, it pretty much goes through everything in terms of pulling apart and reassembling the frame..

Quick update guys: So far, I've got the chain and sprockets on and tightened up, all bolts torqued up to spec and I changed the spark plugs, filter and put the carburators back on and have run the cabling for clutch,throttle,decelerator and choke.I noticed that the sump is actually stripped ( ) I need to tap and die it and run an oversize bolt... Anyone have any recommendations for any mechanic in sydney that can come out to my place and do it for me? I don't want to risk stuffing this up, getting a sump will just be complicated. Sadly, I tried to fix this with thread seal tape, and it worked perfectly, but the next day I found drops of oil on the floor, and the bolt is loose again I went out and bought a new bolt, but I need to spend time on this as I'll have to drain the oil AGAIN, and this is new oil so I don't want to put another batch of oil in because this batch is going to be run for 1000km's (it's Motul 3000) and then I'm changing to 5100 and will run that for 4000km intervals. I'm all ready to run then wiring loom and get the airbox on, followed by getting the tank on and starting the bike, however this stripped sump has made me hit a wall and stop, so I will be proceeding slowly from here. Any recommendations guys? This was unexpected and upsetting Whoever worked on this bike previously overtorqued the sump bolt to oblivion

Hey guys, today I managed to get all the ancillaries connected up, I turned the bike on, HEADLIGHTS WORK! WOOOO! Know something has been done right, however, the bike doesn't turn over at all, I connected up the throttle case to try turn it on....
1. put key in ignition and turn it 2. success, lights come on and neutral indicator and oil light are on, things are going well 3. flip the kill switch to on 4. expecting it to turn over on the starter 5. press starter 6. nothing but silence 7. d**n IT!
Anyone have any point of reference? What should I be checking, in order? [battery is fine, but the starter isn't even turning over, and I'm pretty sure everything is connected up...

Have you still got the original wiring on the handlebar switches, if yes, then you'll need to have the clutch lever pulled in to start it.
If you dont have any joy with the sump repair, let me know, and i'll see what i can sort out from my spare engine.

Also, you may want to fit the rear hugger/mudguard assembly before you go any further, as its a real pregnant dog to get back on with the subframe all bolted in tight without bending it into a nasty shape with the wheel fitted.

d**n it, got it running well and everything, came out this morning and there are two new oil leaks, one from just above the stator cover and one from just above two of the extractors... wtf! Managed to fix the extractor one mostly, but the one from the stator cover is brand new and I have no idea where it's coming from!
the worst thing is, the only part I haven't worked on for this bike, is giving me problems... all I did to the engine was paint it and replace oil filter/sparks and oil, the mechanic did the valve clearances, think they didn't put the head on correctly? I think this is ridiculous, 3 leaks from this engine, and I haven't done anything, and this new leak above the stator cover is just seeping oil constantly and I have no idea why

This is where the leak is coming from: It's around that bolt in the middle and there was nothing yesterday when I was running the bike, but this morning there were a few drops on the ground and my stator cover has lots of oil on it... WTF!!!
