Todays fiddling with the CG

[stonesie]

Well the thing has started smoking like a trooper when it's warmed up fully

I was thinking of a 150cc conversion, bits are on the slow boat from china already so it will probably happen one day, but for now I bought a 124cc barrel and piston kit... Unfortunately I did not take any pics until it was all in pieces but this is what I found....

The red stuff is assembly lube, and I managed to snap the new top ring, because I'm a heavy handed fucker, that or it was too big for the barrel, so I used the old top ring which turned out to only have a 0.3mm gap in the new barrel, less than the new middle ring so that will do nicely.


Some 500 mile old oil...

CG's are reliable IF THEY ARE SERVICED every now and then.

Will put some cheap oil in it tomorrow and get the rings run in

Bloody hell, my RXS top end has got less wear than that after 105,000 miles

The bits you took out wer`nt that bad at all.
I`ve run bikes with pistons and barrels a lot worse than that (shame on me).

Hope it all goes back together as well as it came apart

That barrel will probably end up on ebay, somebody who needs a re-bore can buy it and have that one done so the bike is only off the road for a matter of hours rather than days/weeks depending on the engineering company they use


The bike ran fine, started first kick usually and would pull 60 on the flat, had 70 once down hill (Damn my broad shoulders, got the aerodynamics of a parachute ) and it had noticeably better acceleration than the training school bike I have been using (a 2002 CG with less miles)

Off out soon for a litre of mineral oil, all the stuff I have 'in stock' is semi synthetic or fully synthetic

20 miles later and it has totally stopped smoking, feels like good compression and now I've had a good fiddle with the idle mix and speed it has stopped cutting out at the most annoying moments, like in the middle of a 4 lane traffic light controlled roundabout

Just had a look and the oil rings are stuck solid at least I know it will be fine for years to come now... Probably why my mate wants it when I move up to something bigger, says he knows by the time I sell it the thing will be mint
