[QUOTE="mj4trax, post: 1380935, member: 116336"] Rings out of spec. .. only thing I can think of there is the end gap. I'll check that when I pull the cylinder apart on the bike, and make sure to share what I find. On my quads, after running 50-70 hours on a set of rings, they are usually still in spec (though admittedly towards the high end of the tolerance) for ring gap, and that's with steel sleeves. Detune by lowering the compression? You mean swapping bottom and mid end snap/response for a peakier, higher revving motor? That's what I've found every time I've run lower compression on my TRX motors. .. No thanks, that's the opposite of what I want. Out of curiosity, how do you adjust the compression on stock o-ringed heads? On my o-ringed aftermarket TRX cylinder, I have interchangable domes with different squish volumes, and on my stock cylinders, I just adjust the head gasket thickness. . . or in some cases mill the head. I could see someone adjusing it though base gasket thickness. . . but then you're messing around with the port timing. I'm not planning to run anything but stock on my bike, but this is a curiosity for me. Seems like an awful stretch to say that a 10 oz weight puts stress on the crank and bearings in the same order of magnitude that transmitting the piston stroke energy to the clutch basket could. .. and as far as stressing the bearings, that's a further stretch way unless it is out of balance or something. My flywheel weight is staying. [/QUOTE]
