Received today a 'B' grade race-tour piston for my TS1 from MB Developments. I did request an 'A' grade piston to compliment my 'A' grade barrel, but unfortunately they were out of stock on 'A' grades. They said that it would be ok to use and that a 'B' grade piston will fit in slightly tighter. I t...

Re: Has the drive side oil seal gone????

I haven't smelt the exhaust :?

Not white smoke but clouds of blue smoke.

I haven't put too much 2 stroke oil in mix either, before someone states this.

This is probably your best option without looking at 5/6 plate options. Are the steels still flat if laid on a piece of glass?[/quote]

measured steels today, they are inbetween 1.51mm and 1.58mm casing is LI Springs are all straight, level and ground. Put everything back today with slightly weaker springs. Clutch still a bit stiff to use. Hardly having any play in clutch lever when selecting gear, jumping forward slightly :flaming:...
