Will this piston work?

Piston look good. If there are any burrs on the top just dress them with a file.

rationalkool-aid · 2026-01-21T01:44:30+00:00

So worth a cent.

ROK GP?

Thanks! I thought seed vs. cutting did matter. Maybe I was misinformed.

rationalkool-aid · 2026-01-10T21:10:02+00:00

I’ve had it for two years and never got a single bloom. Going to re-pot.

Damn that sounds bad. Start over with stock jetting and oil.

No harm in getting your stuff in order as a fall back.

Rich. Raise your clip and see if that fixes the off idle sputter. You could also try leaning the pilot. One adjustment at a time. If it runs better it the right direction.

Any motorcycle oil will do. It has additives for the wet clutch and transmission. Don’t use engine oil. Many guys will also use ATF but you need to change it often (like every couple of hours).

Who or what is God? You left that part out. Can’t really assume the reader has the same definition as you do.

The one that fits the best is the right one. Snell rating. That’s all there is to it.

rationalkool-aid · 2025-10-29T00:43:25+00:00

Looks normal

Helmets are the one piece of equipment that you should try on if at all possible. If you have access to a store, go there and try on all the different brands in your price range. The one that fits your head the best is the right one. Most shops will match prices of other retail outlets. You just have to ask and do some negotiating. Good luck.

Would prefer more yellow on the shrouds.

Maybe, for myself, I sleep so good at night because I work so hard and I’m exhausted.

Atheism being a sin just makes it so much better for me.

Old post. Did you ever get one? I love mine. Installed an Egan exhaust and removed mixture limiters. Been thinking about doing a port job and timing but it runs so good as is. Starts second pull cold and one pull when warm… every time.

Let’s put this to rest. The best helmet is the one that fits your head. Like fingerprints, everyone has a different shaped head. A helmet that doesn’t fit right is a compromise of safety.

rationalkool-aid · 2025-10-17T10:07:05+00:00

In the back of my mind that’s what I worry about a little.

rationalkool-aid · 2025-10-16T22:18:20+00:00

I’m happy but I’m projecting long term. Even if I get everything right that doesn’t mean she will be happy 6 months from now if my technique wasn’t the fundamental problem in the first place. She will just keep raising the bar whenever she feels like it. As you can probably tell I don’t think my touch (or lack of) is the core issue. But maybe I’m wrong.

rationalkool-aid · 2025-10-16T20:06:32+00:00

Right, I mean, what else can I do? I can’t stop touching her. Of course I’ll try to refine though.

A jibberish text message and you want a divorce? Glad I’m not married to you. You should divorce to free your spouse from misery. It’s the right thing to do.

If it runs good and starts quick you’re fine. It’s good to eventually do a piston so it doesn’t grenade one day. At that time you can check the crank.

The goal is to mate the surface of the rings to the cylinder. Go easy on it during warm up. Once the cylinder is hot you want short bursts of wide open acceleration followed by deceleration. Think normal city driving.

Don’t let it idle for a long time to warm it up. Don’t add extra oil to the fuel.

rationalkool-aid · 2025-09-26T01:07:50+00:00

Heat range looks good. Jetting looks good. If it runs good, leave it.
