My iron barrels aren't "mild tunes" either and I'll admit that I use semi synthetic, but an Avanti has a bridged exhaust port and needs the best possible lube.
BTW Ron I'm certainly not having a go at your kit, there's a guy in Wakefield got one and it's astounding . . . . . absolutely trounces most of the TS1s He rides along with, and tractable as well, as being uber reliable.
No, Sticky's came off above the exhaust port, which was exactly where I damaged my plating when I seized it whilst trying to resolve fuel starvation issues (my fault, rather than a fault of the kit).servetakid wrote:What happened to Stickies barrel? Did the plating come off in the same place?
