And that's cause you were on a KR. I rode Zorst's RG and it was like lightning, it's what convinced me to deal with the RG stat. And the bike is very due for a piston and ring anyway, and I was convinced by K14 to forget about regular sized postons and just drill the suckah so I don't deal with low compression and realise I needed the oversize piston anyway.

The main problem is those powervalves, think the clip is loose again

That was probably a fairly key aspect you failed to mention. You can't rebore nikasil plated barrels. You are stuck with the original bore. Its the same story with the rs, nikasil plated bore, just keep throwing new pistons in there without doing anything to the bore.

thats a real bugger. IF your bore wasn't plated it would be sweet, but alas its a plated bore.

Oh and the KR... if your RG is a "slow" one im screwed next weekend then cause im racin the KR!!

We'll I'll take the barrel into the rebore dude SVS told me about, see what my options are. Otherwise I think I'll just save for the coating, it'll be only a bit more expensive than getting an original piston and ring (which Wellington Motorcycles quoted $300, plus freight from Asialand)

And your KR felt faster than my bike. It was torquier and it actually pulled away at high revs. Maybe my perfectionism lets me notice the very small differences

The guy SVS told you about is Hi Torque cycles in Kapiti.

Speak to Phil. Hes a bloody good guy and will help you out lots.

I CAN"T wait to race the KR. I will be able to give it 100% knowing that its my bike and if i crash im not damaging anyone elses bike!!

**Coyote** · 13th August 2006, 21:50

Will do. I'll take apart the cylinder first (was playing to do it today but Soul Bruddah hired out Tourist Trophy, blardy good game)

I need another road bike and a higher paying job. I don't want to race once each season

**Ivan** · 14th August 2006, 14:47

Hey Alarumba you should buy another rg bore cheaper than nicasel coating which has to getsent over seas

**kickingzebra** · 14th August 2006, 15:11

Getting closer... Canardly.

**Racey Rider** · 14th August 2006, 15:16

Are you lot sure the RG150 has a coated bore? I didn't think it did, but may be wrong.

**Sketchy_Racer** · 14th August 2006, 17:47

yes the RGs are coated.

Your KR should what be too

**Ivan** · 14th August 2006, 22:02

you should be able to put a cast bore in not should you are able to press one in its just for the rules it weighs more than nickasel an but might be cheaper

**Sketchy_Racer** · 15th August 2006, 18:15

Or ivan you should sell him the one you have at your house doin nothing- er thats right.... it need a piston...

The problem is I bought an oversize piston

A rebore is going to be only a bit more expensive than trying to get an original sized piston right? I remember TS saying they were 300 for the kit, plus shipping. I've already sepnt 150 on the oversize kit

I was really hoping I would have enough money for that remote control car...

Yeah the rebore will probably cost about $70 or so, getting the barrel re nikasiled needs to be done overseas (auzzie, usa or britain). Now that is going to cost you about $600 or so (I assume it would cost the same as an rs barrel). So yeah going to be alot cheaper....

Have you actually even bothered to ring up the local suzuki dealer and see how much a piston kit is? Also have you actually taken your bike apart yet and confirmed that it does infact have a nikasil bore? Ring up the suzuki dealer and ask them, they should know for sure.

WTF wat do u mean theone at mt house if ur talking about that motor in peices thats something im going to rebuild and the barrelhas a huge crack running from inside to out

And also Alarumba dont hone nickasel bores

**Sketchy_Racer** · 16th August 2006, 14:02

oh yeah thats right your gonna re-build it....

Is that another one of your projects?

you do hone a nicasil bore when you replace the piston...... so the new rings seat in well. you DONT bore out a nicksil bore without recoating.
