    Omg

    my baby is off the road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (temperarally of course)
    I was riding out to wellsford with a mate and we were just cruisin bike doing fine, then on the way back I was giving her everything possible into corners and all (not that i can say i dont do that all the time anyway) but this time I was going that little bit harder and she drop'd a cylinder. I've had abit of a look at it and realised the tip of the bottom cylinders spark plug was gone (this is the end sitting over the piston) im thinking the piston hit the plug somehow altho there was no strange noise or what have you. the bike has done 43 odd thousand k's and I think thats fucking awesome for never having been rebuilt in its life! so the time has come for me to get started on a rebuild! DURING SUMMER!!!! which really annoys me but needs to be done. I think all this may have come down to changing my oil as I used to always run her on CASTROL TTS then was forced to use a shitty caltex brand as I ran out of oil in the middle of know where (caltex not having the extreme rpm protection) on TTS she NEVER missed a beat. Think it was just its time or there was a culperate? Not to worry she'll be up in bugging those 1000's in corners also faster than ever. Hope to have her pullin power wheelies in 3rd if im lucky and throwing out 80hp as atm she runs around 60 odd just with derestriction.

    Hey mate, you've made a good decision. It's always cheaper to rebuild a stroker before it rapes itself. There's a guy on here that sells 300cc kits for them too, considering that your healthy MC21 250cc barrels are worth gold, might be worthwhile spending a little extra on the upgrade.

    as far as I know the plug could be from factory altho unlikely considering its k's and age..
