They holed pistons quite often, mostly the rear cyl... so be sure to have a colder plug in that pot, a '9' IIRC
Pitty they did this there was a aftermarket piston kit that lasted longer and gave more power.... but even they aventually melted a hole in the top of the pistons.

Ok, i see. I mean i havent been ridin on it too often since i got it, so thats probably why it is still goin well ;> Anyway, would i hear if i had that rear piston holed? A car mechanic took it for a test ride, and says its fine, plus all 3 cyl work properly, so (touch wood) i hope its gona stay this way.

thx, will remember that. had the new battery put in lately, probably for the first time since the bike was born, had to get a similar one, cos the original type of the battery is no longer available lol, poor old bike ;> changed spark plugs just to have it goin, but ill change the rear for a cold one for sure.
