SHHHHHH!!! Shit now DP will think I told you to mod your bike!Originally Posted by johnnyboy0212
I didn't DP, really I didn't! In fact I believe I told him not to mess with it for a while. Like I said, I've mucked around with mine, made it faster, made it handle better and then Nipper gave me the learn on his bog standard bike. In my case the rider needs more work.
I love shit like that. I recall seeing the piston out of an old Leyland truck- one of the valves was sticking out of the top of the piston. It had melded in much like the rings in your pics. Quite amazing.Originally Posted by johnnyboy0212

Okay now I’m really scared of coming down to BOBuckets again.![]()
I guess I’m kinda feeling that maybe I come off sounding like I know more than I do & it’s not if I can back it up by coming to wipe your arses (or should that be kick? My mother always taught me to be helpful) as the 50 is down on power compared to bigger bikes, . . . however it seems to fare ok at Blenhiem kart track. My 125 is going to be built as a short cct bike & with a 24mm carb will also be down on peak power necessary for doing well at Ruapuna.
So I am not a guru 2 stroke tuner, I still have much to learn.
But one thing I did learn long ago was the destructive forces of detonation.
Compare Johny’s last photo (pic 1 below) & Dangerous’s (pic 2).
Jonny’s has crack marks. Dangerous’s has erosion. Detonation was the catalyst for this damage. Look how the piston has been eaten away like it’s been locally sandblasted. This ate it’s way through the crown & freed the ring enough to get funky with the exhaust which could have caused the ring to push the peg out of the way & rotate with a twisting force of the port shape change.
I would make that conclusion even without the hindsight that the bike was running dangerously (sorry) lean. That info just backs it up & localised exhaust side damage is quite symptomatic. If he had the timing too advanced or the comp too high for the gas the damage would likely be in the centre of the piston. Actually Johny's could have also been partially caused by detonation. Sometimes it punches holes.
Thus endith the lesson.
Oh, um I mean, in my humble opinion & I could be wrong.![]()
-Hmph -as if!

Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
