Wet Dreamers

Thought for a minute there she might have had a glug of the wet stuff.

Nah, been lucky with water especially since I'm a twat around the stuff :/

Its definatly burning oil tho, exhaust port and valves are sooted right up, when I first had it they were clean as. Piston rings are at 0.3mm book gives 1mm tolerance, looking like the stem seals

Couple more pic's from sunday ....

Engine is having an even worse day

Only good news is the barrel is mint, hone marks arnt worn anywhere and the old piston has very very little wear on the skirts.

What's the hour/miles on it Pete?

Prolly around 6k miles 500 hours, maybe.

I see there were a couple of tumblers on hard loop section of the Aberbeeg enduro course,
Hit hard and fast that fucker or down ya go !

Those Aberbeeg bits were well washed out Dave , i think even you would have flipped it up the narrow one
Stem seals - thats something else I didnt know existed thats inside my engine ?
Nice pics Paul

Yup, sits atop of the valve guide.

Does that mean it has the coman ktm fault where the wire falls out of the speedo

I think its pretty close tbh, given the minimal wear when I striped it last night.

I have the letter from ktm showing the clock replacement at 2k miles, 600 when I had the bike, plus the condition of it was inline for the mileage when I had it, now on 2800, and I would estimate approx 1200 miles for the 1/3 of the time the clock stops working due to being wet
