I did 200 miles on my stroker today. That cost me 40 quid in petrol and 8 quid in oil.
Aren't two-strokes marvellous?

Peak consumption was Aylesbury - Bicester - Thame - Fox's.
Roughly 65 miles, 13 litres, 22 mpg. Plus oil. When you have complete and total confidence in your tyres (and BT090s rock mightily), great things can be accomplished.

It should have been mentioned somewhere (I thought it was) that if it is just the bore that is being rebuilt, then the rest of motor and gearbox is already run in so it doesn't need an extended run-in period. Rings and bores are bedded in the first few miles, so give it a bit (without thrashing it) once properly warmed up (on the road, not at idle) for 20 minutes or so - it needs load to seat the rings properly against the bores... definitely don't coddle the motor. After that ride it normally.
A few links that you might find helpful to avoid a repeat: http://www.mrfunnel.com/Mr._Funnel/Home.html - get one and use it! Read the first link to find out why ![]() http://www.ultralightnews.com/engine...istonfail1.htm multiple pages http://www.smellofdeath.com/lloydy/p...diag_guide.htm Cheers |
