Re: Jimmers manifold...?

Yep, I'd try another stator. This is a typical symptom for Indan stator issues.

Re: big end shims

Cezeta, This thread has put a smile on my face and it is nice to know that I'm not the only one dwelling on such issues. I bought a MEC 60mm with Italian TV175 rod a number of years ago as the combo of long rod and long stroke is something that I like.... and they were being sold off cheap. However,...

Re: Rimini 5 speed box

One good reason (IMO) for a decent 5-speed with good ratios is that I've previously found it pretty difficult to ride a tuned revvy motor or high geared big cc cruiser with a group of smaller cc standard'ish bikes without spending much of my time sitting in 3rd, with 4th being out of the revs/powerb...

Re: Holed piston!!

^... yes, it works and is a good 'get out of jail free' option but it is no substitute for getting your jetting right in the first place.

Re: Holed piston!!

I'm not sure that there is a debate to be had here? What we seem to be saying, perhaps even agreeing on , is that dynos serve as a very useful tool for setting up motors but that they are only as good as their operator. Unless a motor is being built for the track, there should always be a safety mar...
