Think i was in there when john was doing it last Saturday morning? F**K me it looked rough.... Ha ha only kidding, i wouldnt know what i was looking at anyway although John did try to enlighten me...

I was talking to JB yesterday and he mentioned that he'd done an RT kit. Sounds great but I bet the price was pretty eye watering!

Sounds like a nice tourer, could you post the graph to see how the power is delivered?

I had a leaflet come with a recent MB order and it does sound tempting, but on their website it says it's nicasil lined yet on the leaflet it says ceramic lined So, ceramic or nicasil and does it make any difference?

Its the same... Nicasil is just one brand

just google it and spend the next few hours reading up on everything nicosil and ceramic like i just have

have a look on poeton website or camcoat website

I thought nicasil was something like nickel/silicon, that doesn't sound like ceramic
Can't be arsed to read up on it, just a simple answer is all I was interested in

Ceramic lining is different. Google Apticote 2000

Ceramic is alledgedly harder wearing and has better lubricating and heat dissipation properties

if you cant be arsed to read up on it neither can i

I remeber when doing ma' City and Guilds, being told that within 20 years engines would be all ceramic and disposable.
That was in '84, so it should be happening any minute now :biggrin:
