    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Re: Piston slap?

Have you tried a mechanic's stethoscope to pinpoint the exact origin of the noise? I am new to motorcycles, but when I put forged pistons in auto engines, some noise on warmup was considered normal. I was told this is due to larger piston to cylinder clearance necessary for forged pistons. Did you check your clearance?
I was wondering if you had some pictures available of the engine mounts on your bike. I'm planning on doing the same swap and would really appreciate a look.

I'm fairly happy now that the noise I'm getting is normal for forged pistons, as you say.

Email me on the address in the post above and I will reply with some pictures of the engine mounts.

Hiya all!
Seems like there was a little damage being made when the cams had been put on, and the gear on the pinion was a little damaged...
Try to move the pinion by hand, maybe its the same?

Just a suggestion! :oops:

I had this too, on my bike when it had a 750 engine. The exhaust cam was damaged on the tacho drive gear. I fixed it with a good used cam.
Good point.
