ring gap
Whats a safe ring gap on a rapido 200? its done about 2500 mile on a standard size asso piston .Having its winter overhaul,checked the ring gap and its 28 thou,time for new rings? seem to have worn a bit quick though,any thoughts? AF clubman and open mouth delly 30.Did have a few issues with it last year when it had a mikuni 24 on it running hot,changed to a delly 30 hasn't missed a beat since
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

Generally, I will run rings until .45mm. This sort of thing is always a personal preference.
I imagine you are using an SAE measurent of 0.028 inches? That's a huge end gap. I'd replace those straight away.
