Re: T500L
Hi guys, I am hopefully acquiring a mint 1972 T500. The T3 mod hasn't been done so far ( oil starvation), the seller has agreed to do it and I have asked if they would do the crank seals at the same time as well as replace ( if necessary) any damaged gears (4/5th) if worn. As the bike is mint and only done <9k miles I suspect gears may be ok, Q I have is if he refuses to do the seals is there any way before he breaks the engine to test if they are currently ok ?. I have no knowledge of these bikes, I merely see this as an oppounity to keep a mint classic - mint. I wonder if the is any form of pressure test if that does not sound too stupid to see if there is a leak ????? Any advice would be appreciated. I will be seeing the bike run this week before I commit so have an opportunity to intervene with any font of knowledge you can give me
Regards
Paul
