Looking at that ro i wouldsay its stripdown or carriage damage rather than hydraulic lock

Put the time in yesterday to get the cases back together and back in the frame so now at least I'm back to where I started.

Don't feel a walley, we all live and learn - if you are new to mechanics, I think you have done really well with this problem in light of how unusual the issue was. I guess you have certainly learned a lot!
Bryanj:
I agree with that, few professional mechanics would look for bent rods unless a problem(like yours) was spotted
eight0:
Thanks guys, yes certainly learnt a lot!
Does anyone have any sources for the M8x145 engine bolt? Mine is bent for some reason. They are available on CMS and DS for order from the states but there must be somewhere I can just order a flanged bolt from.. or another bike that takes the same sized bolt.
