    think the bike had stood a while. so its possible the rings mite be stuck. or its scored the barrel and worn the rings out. suppose be best to strip and investigate. is it easy enough to get the gasket and rings? you wouldnt no the prices of this gear... cheers 4 advice...

Is it the rings on the piston. valve oil stem seal... ive got a spare cylinder head in case its the seals. But will have to order some rings if this is the problem... Any help be good... cheers...

    xs coils

    seems like i have a limiter on my bike at 50mph new set of points is on my xs, ive ordered new condensor, and noticed today one of the coils is getting hot, (aftermarket one) the side were the missfire is... Question. Is it normal for this to heat up. Other side stays cool? There is a coil on ebay for xs250, will this be ok for my xs400?
  10. nice1... i will check the condensor in the morning cheers for that
  11. got everything balanced still missis on tickover so going to re-new the condensor see if this helps out. checked the genorator timing, took cover of and oil came out, and wen u tip the bike on its side oil comes out the hole at the bottom. m8 rekons crank seal is bust and need to strip the motor down. hope not! any ideas if this is supposed to happen
  12. been 2 m8s settin the carbs up, balance etc. we check the timing and took the cover of the motor to chek the gen, and oil came out. when u tip the bike on side it comes out of a hole at the bottom. may be silly Q but is this supposed to happen m8 rekons a seal is bust and need to strip the motor down
  13. Not mine but m8s RD125LC. He's deciding to take test after 20yrs o me aggin him he decided to get 125 and ride this for six month, and take lessons and ride at the same time, fair do's... Problem. He managed to get the bike to run right after re-jetting and re-jet and ermmm re-jeting . And now has a leaking cylinder head gasket So he rang me the other nite and dreamt of fitting a Big Bore Kit while the head was off ( as you do ) So here is the Big question. Can you still buy Bore Kits for these? How Much? And where? I will happily pass on any info... Big Bore Kits, i remember my MB50 65cc Ortisa bore kit -60mph- at 16, sweet
  14. cheers for that... Got the bike running now and went for 100ml run and everthing seemed ok. exept the poppin and banging when you shut throttle off. gettin the carbs balanced at the weekend see if this helps matters out.
