Well, one did for sure...

 

c;lose to the sparkplug hole so (my reasoning, not based on knowledge) is that it got way to hot there...

 

Good thing I still have the VF500F2, 4th gen and RC51 to ride for now :laugh:

 

 

 

I thing the material just got brittle by age, running hot should get different colors

Kiitos Keny, that is exactly what the machinist told be today.  I brought the failed and 2 other spare heads in today and we agreed on which one he'll refurb.  Valve seats and guides.

I can testify that riding a bicycle at 7AM @6°C is warmer than riding a motorcycle at 4PM @6°C...

Nuthin like having a mate with all the right tools.

 

Your pictures make me miss those long winter twilights up north. IIRC they last between about 0900 and 1500 😀

 

Happy sinterklaas!

Is Holland really that full of open space?

Where's all the people? 
How soon can I move in with you?

Depending on where you live yes.....

 

I live in the centre and the more east you go, the more space there is.

The western half ("Randstand") is really packed

 

 

 

Things are getting worse though
