sorry to here that mate head gasket is always i f**ker when it goes i dont now about bikes but on cars you can do it all ya self all that need to be done is replace the gaskets and get the head skimmed then it should be ok as long as you have not boiled the engine in wich case the heat would have changed/exspanded the engine in some way or another and this could cause problems, but only ive you ran it for a long period of time does it boil and that white smoke you were seeing was the water/coolent mixing with the oil and condensation accumalate in the chamber and exits thrue exhaust

any how sorry to here that

SORRY BIUT SPELLING PEOPLE IM DISLEXIC :smt011

I think thats where me & Ray went once. Is it a cafe at some crossroads A272 with traffic lights and next to a petrol station? Im sure Ray will no what its called, car park completely full up with bikes on a Wednesday.

Im going back to uni in Pompey next year so will be living in Southsea with the zxr
