Pete

Good luck with the reassembly. Don't forget to let us know the outcome. We're in suspense here and hoping to avoid the same problem.....

What was the outcome of the crack checking?

Wondering what the outcome was... I have (or had) the same problem, also on the right cylinder with no problem on the left. I also had the problem of oil leaking around the spark plug hole mentioned earlier in this post. this is all before the piston on the right side burned a hole in it (no damage to the cylinder or rings).

Thanks,
Ken

Right its back from a full crack test and there is nothing wrong so its a good clean new gaskets and put it back together . If that doesn't fix it I will have to pull it down again and have another look if I do see anything in the re-build I will let you know ok

Ok spent a very nice weekend in the garage rebuilding it . Then spent another very nice weekend in the garage taking it apart again . As a last ditch thing took the barrel into work to have it checked to see if it was oval . 1 rebore later new rings and pistons its the best bike I have ridden .

So thanks to everybody for the advice and if your in the same boat as I was the best thing I can say is look for a rebore .

Now on to the electric's

Nice one, Pete! Post your electrical problems sometime, if you need help.

Hi,

With electrics there's only one rule to keep in mind :

Make sure that all electrons leaving the negative pole can flow back to the positive pole, but don't let them do that to easy, and everything will work fine.
