Did the rings need replacing or were you just doing an inspection and changed them while you were there? Was thinking of running mine on untill 80 hours then changing piston.

I was bored shitless, it was pissing down outside, id previously said I’d do it at 80 hours and just to minimise the endless retarded comments about the machine being a polished turd

 

so now it's a polished turd with new piston rings?

 

Did you lube the piston up as you would normally do ?

 

I was going to ask you to load me pictures stu
And dek yes I put a little exol on top of the piston she’s running sweet

 

Have you replaced the piston return springs ?? Definite improvement ....

Sorry to comment on a old thread.
When you doing the piston rings how do you go about removing the injector etc too get the barrel off?
Thanks

 

You just undo the bolts and remove them just go steady it’s pure common sense and should take you a couple of hours tops

 

U don’t need to take the injectors out. Just disconnect the hose and connectors.

This is true but I’d thought I’d have a peek and clean

 

How did the power valve look?

 

Use belray, an mine was also fine.

I use exol and it looked pretty good so just left it as is

 

Are you finding the exol oil ok on the tpis if so which one is it as when I get one I'll be moving over to exol

 

Yes its fine been using it forever

Also using Exol on TPI as suggested by ktm450 and all good.

 

Used Exol in my TPI and it jammed the rings, the same container of oil was given to me by a mate and did exactly the same to his bike. I think it must have been a dodgy gallon as used it before with no issues, but now I don't trust it if one crap gallon can slip through the net

 

Ok thanks for the feedback, I'm hoping to swap to a tpi at the end of this year currently on a exc 350f

 

60 idd hours in the TPI, no apparent issues

 

I've used Exol since 2015 .... 16 17 19 bikes.... no problems ...as advice from the late great Ross Hall
