Re: Grab your comfy chair for this one.....

Poetry in motion would turn to mind numbing boredom in about six months.
Factory work is OK for some, but I couldn't handle the same thing day after day.

Lick. Good move.

I "loosened" my religion so much I lost it back in the late 1950s.

Re: UTT Master Cylinder pressure light

That is a fluid level light. You may want to check the level.

Trim about a hundred pounds off that pig and you may have something.

Re: Stuck ignition switch

WD-40 is great for drilling,taping,machining, aluminum.
It doesn't leave a mess or stain like some other cutting and taping fluids.
If you need lube use Triflow with teflon.

Re: Oil in cylinders

The cylinders and pistons need to be pulled and inspected.
You may find some interesting things there, cylinder bore distortion,
excess clearance, broken or very worn rings. Some 1000cc cylinders
don't do well with O/S boring.
