Maybe there is no (or little )oil getting INTO the engine. Tip a 1/4 pint into a rockerbox and see if that alters things as far as the scavenge system is concerned. Don't like the idea of running the engine for long with this question hanging over it as the plain bearings won't like being starved of...

Still looking for this information. There must be chaps with these highly sought after masterpieces who are game to admit to owning one. ( just joking) I don't want to put it back together without getting some of the vibes out of it.. It's an original bike and hasn't done a lot of work, so it's wort...

Re: Big end bearing
All singles except the VH run Ball bearings on the mains. Unless you are going to use it hard you can replace the roller bearings with ball bearings ( Much cheaper) Most of us would never wear these things out in a lifetime of rallying.
