    A tenth of an inch... did you go Sterling, or was it an internal combustion unit, which means you made some stunningly small rings?

    I'm guessing no rings....kinda like the nitro RC's...tapered cylinder.

    Now if we're talkin' a 4-stroke, I'd need to see that thing in person to believe it...

    Re: Dirty Valves?

    Thanks for the advice all. Just seemed a little nasty to me for such a new and well-maintained bike, that's all. I went and bought some seafoam, but I didn't put it in there yet because I was wondering if the bike will be down on power or running roughly with it in there????

    If so, I'll wait till after the track days next week to do it...

    Sorry, no pics, and all the parts had to be accounted for...I did this job back in 1993.

    Re: Dirty Valves?

    Still never got an answer even though it's after the TD's so it doesn't matter as much anymore: Will the seafoam cause rough running and/or decreased performance for a tank or two? If so, should it not be run within a tank or two of a track day?
