just put new piston and rings in and theres a slight rattle/vibrating noise coming from the top end ?? anyone else got this or had it havent rebored the barrel still standard 56mm pistin is a nice fit, it goes away when im hitting roughly 6k rpm or its still there and i cant hear itover my dep lol any ideas ??
made yaself a slapper m8 iv had the same issues myself takin the easy way out but its never anywhere as good or long lasting just had my cylinder rebored an new piston done it all properly by pros for a change an the bike is lovley now just runnin it in
replaced small end, no movement from the bottem end, i didnt get it rebored as the barrel was all clean, it didnt do it at first only after about 100 mile im now on about 310 miles now dont seem to be getting worse, if it is piston slap how do i get rid of it ??
think the only way is a rebore to solve slappy pistons
your powervalve aint turnin the wrong way is it m8 mine was clickity soundin when i did that worked for a while like that then nipped my new piston ,,, an theres me pushin the bike gets heavy after about 2 miles had 5 to push
if you have put a standard piston in from a 96-on (56.00mm)
but the bike is pre 96 you have a .4 gap coz the older ones are bigger as standard and will give you instant piston slap
i totally agree ....you need to check the specs and let us know
then depending on the outcome we can give you the right size/dimentions of your yeah and if its been bored before so you wont waste time and money on more baggy pistons
we are here to help dude ,let us know and good luck
well the bikes a q plate reregestered in 1993 so pre 96 the piston kit i bought is a mitaka on the box said dt125r 1990 onwards, it was making the sound very slightly b4 my piston went, thinkin more along the lines of power valve as the old piston had a chunk missing from the exhaust side and the top ring was snapped, i got a haynes manual so gonna reset my power valve and see if that sorts it, also im now loosing water ?? no leeks though, iv hurd the head gaskt you get with the kit is pants, ??
help is very muh apreciated as i use the bike every day for a 30 mile trip to work and back :)
get them powervalve cables crossed over matey before you smash your new piston. have the valve turning towards the exhaust port an back to fully open on the cleaning cycle ,, see if it kills your rattle
