Title: Running in new piston rings
Post by: Kookaburra on September 29, 2014, 02:42:50 AM

Back from the Scrap Heap Adventure (95 bikes including 3 R65's and all up we raised $70,000+ in sponsorships for down syndrome.) Did 1700 Km round trip  but now time to do some maintenance.

I have cleaned up the cylinders and put in pushrod seals and new piston rings. Its a 1985 bike with Nikasil barrels. So the question gurus is what sort of running in of the new rings do I need to do if any?
