report on the condition of the motorcycle after a short period of time. I had to install an oil shut-off valve because after a long time the oil was leaking into the engine blocks and the motorcycle was smoking a lot when I started it.

I also bravely tried to participate in the Austrian Rally. However, the hills really took a toll on the bike. Both valves were slightly seated and the valve clearance was lost, which caused them to not seal well and the motorcycle overheated a lot and did not have enough power for the Austrian hills.

Among other problems I can mention that the spokes of the rear wheel came loose and the bike started to float a bit and also that there were some oil leaks. Otherwise it was pretty good. I am currently working on fixing the problems.

I always give the exhaust valves on a Sidevalve a few thou more that originally recommended.The valves get hotter than OHV ones, The exhaust Pipes BLUE more as well. Try to keep the Back pressure to a minimum in the Muffler. Nev

I also changed the shape of the fuel pipe. In the mountains, when the motorcycle got very hot and air bubbles formed in the pipe due to the evaporation of gasoline and the fuel did not flow well into the carburetor. Back in Austria, I temporarily turned it on its side and it is better, I will have to make it so that the gasoline always flows downwards. Any bubbles will then be able to go to the tank and the carburetor will be sufficiently supplied
