    It lives

    I got the belts put back on the 850r and it started 1st time with some jump leads, it sounded a bit rough on the top end due to lack of oil i suppose, i let it run for a minute and shut it off, but all the initial signs are good, so well chuffed for the moment

    You're right mate, MBCs are fine, but you and MBCs aren't.
