Nice one kiwi . No scratches is always good and it sounds like the bike is close to sorted.
(That track layout looks like fun )

(Different to all of my YZF engines) I have had a few people look at it now and the general agreement is a bearing low down in bottom centre of engine. Maybe starter clutch. Going to bite the bullet and ...

This was based on the exact science of what was available at the time. In the pre modern class I have s...

You don't have to start with the clutch all the way in. Don't you hold it a fraction off where it engages Yeah that is what I normally do and I hook the front brake with one finger so it doesn't creep. Something was just not right. All good though.
