1229 Wiesco instructions

I put my engines together with the gaps in the same place every time and I do that for a purpose and when they come apart I'm going to tell you MY rings do not rotate in the groove.

all this talk about where to put the gaps -- How wide did you set your end gaps at? I hope you did not just take them out of package and install.

break in procedure? again- there are a million ways others tell others how to do it... main rule is= do not let it sit and idle at a steady rpm... I say just ride it and blip the throttle it a lot. - you'll feel it when she lets loose a little and revs quicker, accelerates quicker. - that is when I retorque the head nuts.


2 oil and filter changes in the first few hundred miles makes good sense.

I took the block for a rebore, and gave him a piston and rings and mentioned checking the ring end gaps. He said it was fine, so I did nothing to them.

Here's a shot of the pistons. I spaced on ordering a stator cover gasket, so had to wait till today to install. Bike has been sitting and waiting for a week.
