[QUOTE="ws6transam, post: 1419126, member: 65064"] Interesting idea: Nickasil the bore. I wonder if Nickasil, coupled with Ceramic thermal barrier coating the piston dome, (and of course BULLETPROOF fuel delivery) would help. I was running it pretty hard in some really hot conditions and it was pinging. I dunno.... Perhaps I should go back to buying the Cam2 at $8 a gallon and running that when in the woods. Been thinking that maybe I should fix it & sell it to a collector, & buy something newer with 200 or 300cc less engine... However it's been a solid bike thus far & never stalls, even when I'm in trouble or in the wrong gear. Starts every time on the second kick, unless I forget, and leave the petcock on when parked. It's also kind of cool, motoring about town on a street-registered 500 two-stroke. I once even entered it and rode it in a Harley Davidson charity ride and it out-thumped the thunder. I've downloaded Powerseal's work order form and will probably give them a go. Thanks! -Dan [/QUOTE]
