I think you may be on to something there......

**JeffL** · 09-03-05, 08:00 PM

So you mean to say that it doesnt work very good like that?

**Rice-rocket1** · 09-03-05, 08:35 PM

And your problem is?

loose plug....

**JeffL** · 09-03-05, 08:39 PM

If the head is all beat to shit like that, something must have gotten into the cylinder, either that or it was pinging like hell. I think.

What caused all the damage to the plug? Are you going to pull the head?

Looks more like smashed plug to me.

Eventually. The two things standing in my way are Family and Work right now.

A little update on the damage. Should make a nice paperweight now.

**Paul_E_D** · 10-04-05, 07:49 PM

Wow, that piston is nicely pocketed now. Whack a fresh plug in and fire it up!

**OreoGaborio** · 10-04-05, 08:04 PM

dude, polish up that piston & mount it on your mantel

what kind bike is this outta?

My 1117 motor that was in my RF600. It was fun while it lasted. Anyone know a place that repairs combustion chambers?

**dave72370** · 10-04-05, 09:36 PM

I have a buddy of mine that can fix that, if your interested

**SSearchVT** · 10-05-05, 08:43 AM

WOW, I bet you knew when that let go!!!

What does the cylinder look like? With that amount of damage to the combustion chamber I'd look into a new head. It might be cheaper. Good luck

It was pretty obvious, luckily I was close to home at the time.

The cylinder looks Ok at first glance. I see a small nick at the very top (above the rings) that I am hoping will hone out.

I am looking into a head as well and you are correct it would be cheaper. The problem is I have well over 100 hours modifying this head to work with the 1100w bottom end and don't know that I feel like modifying another.

Heh, I remember talking to you about that monstrosity at the last trackday. I remember thinking, this guy is nuts, the first ever RF1117. Sucks it grenaded on you, but I suppose it wasn't exactly unexpected

I think it is the #1 Cylinder
