Just bought this for the R1. I'm gonna be sat at the front door like a kid waiting for it to arrive. :P
Took the head off my honda cb250rs to see why its burning oil, yep, that will be why then...
Woooooo....hold up there MR NOG.......a quick check on FOC-U rules and regs tells me that if you dont own a fazer you cant use the "poke fun"thingy...... .....heres a piccie that might explain it better to a non fazer owner...... ...didn't do a "how to" as not a fazer , same principles though.. unfazed....surprisingly it didn' t smoke that much and a compression test showed a good reading only a slight improvemet with a drop of oil down the bore before re-testing, you could smell it though, and to make matters worse I dont think the oils been changed since new, a real stale smell .....didn't expect this level of damage though, I had already bought the replacement barrel/piston before stripping as cheaper than rebore/new piston/rings...all good now

We thought that may have been the cause or the bore/piston wear. We rebored it to first oversize and replaced all the bits and it went like a train for years after. Never really understood why the pin wore so badly, as it never happened again.What was the play in the gudgeon pin like?
