No...Not mine....But has anyone ever experienced a Blackbird motor self destructing
so to speak??? Nearest that I Know was a guy from Birmingham from whom
I bought a load of bird spares.I asked him why he was breaking his bike for bits and
he told me that the motor blew up.
Amazed..I asked him how he managed that and he confessed that he and a mate
had attempted to adjust the valve clearances and in the process had removed the cams
and he suspected that they hadnt put everything back together correctly .The rest I will leave to your imagination..Hardly the bikes fault in my opinion but there you go....
