Never ever buy a used bike from me.
I know all the old tricks which I did when I was young and skint! 
There is / was a 2000 R1 in the North East with a R&G upper crash bung bolt fixed to the upper cylinder head mounting hole with chemical metal, it lasted for well over the 10 years I owned the bike.Dixiethedog wrote: Thu Mar 27, 2025 6:40 pmKungFooBob wrote: Thu Mar 27, 2025 5:46 pm Take the bolt out, wrap it with some PTFE tape and refit, jobs a goodun.
