Smoked Bacon wrapped Deer Sausage with dill pickles and smoked gouda inside.

And seeing as this thread started about what hone to use I also use a Sunnen AN111 ridgid hone with AN500 stones to finish, and install torque plates when honing for all my fancy friends, that's how you get a perfect bore in my opinion!

Yes, of course piston has to come out first. These machines fit to the top head surface and have a clamp that fits in the cylinder beside the one you would be boring.

4 pissers in total, 2 I can block off with the valve. I just check the temp with my hand while riding, don't go fast until it's warm.

Theres 10 different ways to skin a cat I guess? I have been boring cylinders for 40 years. I have 2 different sized Van Norman cylinder boring machines that use internal catspaw's for centering. When I am in production mode I average 20 minutes to bored and honed and chamfered per cylinder...

In Canada here when it's near freezing my Dasa motor wasn't even warming up the pisser water. I ended up teeing 2 of the 4 pisser together and then I have a tiny ball valve on that line that I can throttle down or close completely if needed.

Crank seals are leaking, bearings will be next.

I bought that silver matrix, put a Xscream 865 kit in it with a carbon wrap on the silver, it ran and looked great. Then I became a Canadian Rickter dealer, as pretty as the Matrix was I like my FR2's and Edges so much better.

I agree the Supercharger is the only proper horsepower modification for the Hottub on the 964 , imagine that for a minute?

Exactly, I have been riding for over 50 years, taught motorcycle safety for 15. Don't trust anyone but you

If its going to be a Rickter, a 2016+ Edge

My zeel will kill the battery in 2 weeks, I have a quick connect on mine and plug a lithium battery tender to it when I leave, sometimes for months.

I also was going to say the internal filter in the carb! Nobody ever cleans that one!

Possibly a leaky crank seal on the rear .

Awe, I'm sad hearing this, RIP!
