I finally have gotten my bike back together from a total top end rebuild. My rear cylinder had a bad detonation and melted my piston. So, now that I have my bike running again, what things can I do to make sure this wont happen again? I still have no idea exactly why it happened first time?!? I dont believe it is running lean. Any help and info you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated. | ||

Properly assembled intake manifold seals, proper jetting, proper timing, and usning proper heat range plugs usually does the trick. | ||

Reading plugs can be tricky. If you are not 100% sure of how it's running have someone that is very experienced double check for you. Be sure to do the check properly too. (see procedeure in the second link) Here is a great write up on the plugs themselves: http://www.strappe.com/plugs.html And here is a good v-twin specific guide to reading the plugs: http://www.cyclespot.com/Jetting.html Finally here is a photo guide (even if they are rather extreme examples) to reading your plugs: http://www.sa750.com/plugs/plugs.htm Hope this helps at least a little bit. |
