March 26, 20179 yr Can anyone tell me how much I have to remove to get the cylinder barrel off think I am needing to having a look at the rings and condition of things in there Cheers
March 27, 20179 yr Author Thanks for replies my bike had started smoking a bit at my last trial i changed the exhaust packing and at yesterday's trial was OK for about 2 laps then started to smoke very badly I was advised by an experienced rider it looked and sounded like the rings had gone by the smoke trail all along the section I had just ridden and the rattling coming from my bike it's my first bike so no experience with them
March 27, 20179 yr Rings will not make your bike smoke. Do you have anyone close by that could have a look at the bike before you start tearing into it ? It would be as simple as a build up of oil in the exhaust, and it takes a couple of laps before there is enough heat to burn the oil. Edited March 27, 20179 yr by b40rt
March 27, 20179 yr More likely your crank seal on the clutch side try giving the bike a good roasting to clean it out before you start stripping it
