A broken connection will also light it up as recall. (safety feature)

Cant wait to hear it sing

A drift for wheelbearings, I make a homemade press for the linkage bearings with a threaded rod, washers and nuts.

I once removed a bearing using bread aswell (go youtube it) just to try it

Was putting around today with a friend, riding small tracks and secondary roads. Didnt reach reserve in 200km, managed 25,5km/l.

Its threaded in somehow, probably glued afterwards.
Mine was missing and I made something up, but I remember seeing fine threads

Yeb sounds like you need to up the idlejet in size.

Absolutely gorgeous!

So its only the ring with the 3 pegs thats bad?
That should be pretty easy to make, or have someone make, but it sounds weird that you broke it 2 times.

Do you have the shim and locring in place, and have the whole thing well lubed?

Generally, higher CR gives more torque, and a better powerband, not the other way around. Otherwise they would surely reduce the CR on endurobikes compared to their MX rivals, to give them broader powerband, but they dont...

"A high compression ratio is desirable because it allows an engine to extract more mechanical energy from a given mass of air-fuel mixture due to its higher thermal efficiency"

Dude, thats cold!

One thing doent exclude the other tho'
