She's Alive !

(1/6) > >>

TaKeN:
The KX125 is alive once again,


Full repaired Cylinder
Pro-X Piston Kit

More compression than before from the feel of it, and its not even broken in yet :D


Any tips on Breaking the engine in ?


Warm up for ten mins ?

Ride slowly and change gears frequently to avoid labouring the engine ?

Then stop and cool bike down for ten mins and repeat ?

Fuel to oil mixture is @ 33.1 for maximum lubrication :D


BTW when my friend was putting it back together a circlip fell into the crackcase  :-o


But fortunately he was able to get it out  :lol:


I look forward to reading you replies and advice :)

Thanks

John

MadKaw:
glad you got her up and rollin man, according to the owners manual for initial break in, you got it right, but you're supposed to pull the top end and check your piston for uneven wear, and check the cylinder walls for any excesive wear or scoring....good luck

TaKeN:
Hmm, thanks for the reply buddy :)


Surely taking the head off the bike and pushing the piston to the bottom will reveal and uneven wear on the cylinder etc ?


Because completely stripping down the top end will mean new gaskets... :(

MadKaw:
yeah, that'll let you check out the cyl. but not the piston skirts and rings. gaskets aren't that high. or hellwithit and just run what ya brung. but top ends are higher that gaskets...he he he

TaKeN:
What is the piston skirt ?

Ive never actually understood what it is :(


and my Bikes pistons only have one piston ring, yet some two strokes have two.


Any reason for this ?
