    Jetnetics Flywheel Damage

    Yes except that it looks like the key is made into the ring gear, if so that's the only way it could be installed is to notch the flywheel. Usually it's just an interference fit or it is staked like on a Yamaha flywheel, even staked I have had several Yamaha flywheels spin the ring gear.

    Teach me to weld?

    There are deals out there I paid $350 for my 300/300 and then I paid another $250 for my Snap om mig, the mig is kinda neat because it has spot and stitch welod settings on it for bodywork, it makes it really easy to spot or stitch weld body panels on.

    Teach me to weld?

    Welding is like jetsking always go with as much power -amperage as you can afford, you may not ever need to use all that power-amperage but it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, you can always turn the amperage down on a big welder, on a small one you can't turn it...

    Sadly is the way he dealt with me as well, there were many phone calls, at that time he was at least still answering the phone, there were also many excuses and many promises made and broken, it's not a way to run a business long term, I own a small business and it is just me so I do fully...

    SXR Help ID these pistons.

    Also the only way to truly know the condition of that cylinder is by using a bore gauge, A caliper will only measure the bore at one spot, it has to be measured in many spots on both the X and Y axis to determine taper and out of round

    The reply was more for the rest of the guys here but yes you were correct it has to be measured at the bottom of the skirt as pistons are tapered.

    SXR Help ID these pistons.

    ART is who makes the OEM pistons for Kawasaki, they are a Japanese manufacturer, also pistons are not going to measure the same as the bore size, they will always be smaller, the difference between the bore size and what the pistons measure at is your cylinder to wall clearance, in this case...
