Motorrad:
.009". !!!! You sure!!!???
If so. You have something to worry about.....
sandblaster:
I could be wrong and probably am but I think Kawi recommends .006"-.014" for a stock piston???
I don't have my manual in front of me
motovet:
The manual calls for 0.2-0.4 mm and I have .009" or 0.229 mm should I make it a touch more? I am running stock bore with an oem piston.
Motorrad:
OEM piston changes things. I thought you were on a forged one still on the tight end though. Take it easy on her.
motovet:
motorrad, you talk about forged, what is your opinion between the two? I`ve been told heat displacement and expansion pros and cons both ways. I understand it is on the snug side of its range but when you say take it easy, are you talking forever or during breakin? This bike is usually rode wide open and i do have a ring grinder so I could make the gap bigger if that would be better.
