Yesterday I had a run out and the scoot nipped up twice but I pulled the clutch in to save a lock up. Today, I upjetted and did the same run and all was well. I used to always clean off the ‘high spots’ from the piston and barrel but any new info out there now? Could the chrome rings do the job? It’s an iron barrel.

what barrell is it , what cylinder studs are in use
if it was just a soft heat seize that you caught normally ok , if locked up back wheel then normally a heavy one
if run in or not will also influence decision if running in then strip and clean up on high spots will aid remaining run in time

It didn’t lock up, like I say, it’s running okay now but just wondered if any high spots would be smoothed out during the running in period. In the past, I used to strip it down but with more knowledge out there now perhaps we could avoid that hassle.
