Thanks guys! If it has the second series head, shouldn't it also have a long (30cm +) oil cooler? I don't think I'll ever find out the real history of the bike, since 12 years is a long time, but the more information the better.
Another thing I discovered is that some idiot has used roofing bolts (!) and not fairing fasteners when attaching the front fairing to the tank. This has caused the tank to rip *very* slightly, where the brackets are welded on. Although I have wire brushed and cleaned the area, and then painted it, I will definitely have to have it repaired at some point. Can it be brazed/welded? Do I have to drain and rinse the tank?
In the meantime, I have an electrical short flattening my battery, which I have been unable to trace. The joys of owning an XT! And one more thing - DL, can you get the front brake switch sender? (Forward of the multiplug near the headstock, all the way to the switch at the lever)? I have pbroken mine, and have to switch on the brake light with the rear lever. Annoying and illegal, ahem.
Cheers guys, I'll post some pics soon. The tank looks ace with silver detailing and my lights no longer shake rattle and roll!
