Woohoo! DRZ engine parts!

Okay, so they’re not upgrades per-se, but they certainly will improve performance from the rather uninspiring stationary situation that’s current, to a town-ripping thumper that she used to be. Hopefully these will be installed within the next few days, bringing me some proper transportation! I’m getting power withdrawl symptoms, riding the RX-S 100.

In the package is the pison, rings and gasket kit. The piston is surprisingly heavier than I was expecting, I thought it would be very light. Hrm. This little lot cost me £200. I’m a bit annoyed with the retailer, as they qouted me £160, then obviously they forgot to tell me that didn’t include VAT. Who the hell tries this trick nowadays? Thank-you Spares Direct, not.

jay, what about the barrell? i thought it was nickasealed?in which case you will need a new one…

John reckons it just needed honing out, which he’s done, and seems to be happy with it. We’ll have a look how it all fits together. A new barrel is bloody costly.
