What do you lads think could be the cause, i know it was overheating previously due to the wrong jetting, which was sorte...

Hi again lads following my previous thread i brought a mitika piston and i have fitted it, now there is a distinct ticking noise from the top end. i can only assume this is piston slap. there is no movement on the con rod and it speeds up as revs increase. the noise is present when clutch is pulled in aswell...

I bought a wossner piston from this website: http://www.forged-pistons.co.uk/ could pay via paypal so that suits me.

I've been the biggest idiot and completely forgot about the 2t oil! I was rushing to drive 25 miles in the dark and rain on the motorway and the bike kept cutting out over 50 I couldn't work out why so I stupidly kept starting it again with some revs to stir it into life! It only dawned on me to check the oil aft...

ai ****ed my bike up by using an old circlip on the piston,anyway its now got deep score marks and was wondering of im going to get away with a 1.50 or even less i dont really wanna take it to 2 mm as thats when they start to go wrong im told cheers

stillbroke · stillbroke

as above how do i go about measuring the end gap on my piston rings on a 1 mm overbore? the haynes specifications state 00.35mm -00.45 but this will be different on an oversize piston surely thanks alot

when doing my head gasket a few weeks back i relised i could with one finger move the piston side to side not loads but like it had to much play , is this right as i thought they should be tight in the bore i was thinking possibly a new set of rings its a standard piston as far as i know abd just touch the 20,000 mil...

stillbroke · stillbroke

as above i just got a new piston and it seems stupidly tight all the sizes are the same and its the same piston ,also 1 ring was thicker than the other the thicker ring would only fit the bottom i have put the piston in the cylinder in the hope that it sat in there for a few hours will aid re fitting it

Long story short I got a TDR 125 the other day, my first bike. Anyway first trip out didn't go to well. I barely got 5 mins from my house and it was bogging down as if it was flooded, if i let of the gas it was fine but wouldn't go above 5k rpm. So i pulled over and made sure i'd not left the choke on or anything sill...
