Just to wrap this up:
Things take time. After 7 weeks the bike is back in business (it seems). I started it late Wednesday evening, and rode it 10 minutes in the deep snow yesterday. My original plan was to rebuild it during the christmas vacation, but I fell ill and could't do it. Then, on the new year, I started working again and had no time.

• When I drained the oil, I found a steel part at the magnet in the drain plug. , I found another one behind the clutch cover. Didn't understand where they came from at fist. When I started mounting the Rekluse clutch, I noticed that the Rekluse tab washer had lost some tabs Getting a new one also took some days.

• I had the crank rebuild with a ProX rod kit (Gasgas OEM part) by a pro, then did the rest here at home.

• I put in a new S3/Vertex piston (after 100 hours on the last one)

• NTN main bearings.

• Had a long, hard look at the exhaust valve. It didn't move freely. It opened OK, but was hard to close. Cleaned everything and had to file off a sharp edge in the cylinder casting.

• Replaced all seals and put it back together.

It was due for a winter service anyway, so I

• replaced a bushing and a couple of bearings in the swingarm, greased all the linkage bearings and replaced some seals there.

• greased the steering bearings (and found that the lower needs replacement)

• had the rear Reiger B46 shock rebuilt at Reiger (Netherlands).

• Took off the Ohlins S3 steering damper / upper triple clamp for service, put in the OEM triple clamp.

• Replaced the rear brake pads and chain.

• rebuilt the choke mechanism in the Lectron carb

Took it riding.
