bike has been feeling like its been loseing a little bit of power each day for the last 5 days, and occationally could see puffs of black smoke coming out around the exhaust gasket on high revs, assumed it was the head gasket had gone at one point so pulled it off to change, found the head has cracked in a Y shape around the plug area!
does anyone know why this has happened? every time i start it up i leave it to idle until the throttle responce is crisp, it has been extreamly cold the last 2 weeks here (maybe the engine going from minus temps to hot fairly quickly then to cold again each day?)
im using a 20:1 ratio oil at the moment, (50ml oil to 1000ml petrol)
