Mine looks very cracked and persihed and I am thinking that I may need a new one. Done the Valve clearances today but that doesn't seem to have made any difference to the rattly noise - not that I am overly concerned but just thought I would take the opportunity to learn more about the mechanics and try to service it myself.
On another note, whats the top speed people tend to get. I get about 100kmh on the speedo, creeping towards 110 on a long, slightly down hill road.
And whilst I am here - I bought some copper grease today. It said it can be used to stop brakes squealing. But where am I meant to put it - it says not to be used on any friction surfaces, which I can understand, but not sure I know what to do with it or how it is meant to stop the squealing when I brake hard.
