tortron Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Engine runs fine Plenty of online discussion for you to read, but small increase in displacement seems to either need no change or a smaller main jet. Tbh I don't know if that's true in my case, so I'm Gona watch it for a bit. WOT run gave a nice digestive biscuit brown plug, but I'll keep an eye on it. Have a couple wideband kits here i may poke up the exhaust I don't facebork but I'd imagine they also drilled holes in the air box for more dorts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mop Head Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Not sure tbh. Stopped following that page intently when I stopped having a GN; just see it pop up a few times a year. Mostly fellas in South America it happened to. But a couple of UK dudes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Did it go well during that 50km? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 It did, and it still does until the plug fouls. Did a bunch of miles over the last 4 days and of course it fails on my day back to work. Heaps of compression, just the oil decided to vacate all of a sudden. Interested to see what the rings look like, I don't think I goofed them up, possibly just a QA issue but balls I really didnt want to pull it back down and go to eastcape on a 125 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 I used a different colour of smoo to glue it back together. And I used way less, maybe that's the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Yup oil rings are tight. Some scuffing on the skirt and bore. Didn't notice any change in performance Rode it up the Bombay's and stopped at the top and pulled the plug. A nice brown. Started smoking about 15mins later. I blame mopednz 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mop Head Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Did you do the @Raizer endorsed essential China champhering service before install? That sucks though. Was keen to know what it went like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Dose it have a 3 piece oil ring? Sometimes if you overlap that springy one problems can arise, Did you check the end gap to? going up the Bombay's might have not been a good idea till you had put a 100 kms or so on. I guess your warranty is vold now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I think the warranty is void the second you take it above 60. Will get some new rings and do the exact same thing again in a few weeks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Will try this next time round. I'd have popped it in last week but I couldn't find the weld in bung 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Widebands on single cylinders are balls at part throttle in my opinion. I tried using one on my DRZ and found you only need a tiny bit of flow reversion between exhaust pulses to make the reading do all kinds of silly shit. Worked well at full brap tho. Your weld-in bung should help a lot. Be very interested to have a GN battle on the Urewera trip if you're still going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
