This guy on the other board is claiming hes put 1000 hrs on
one set of piston and rings in 2 years time. That would be like 1.5 hrs a day 365 days a year for 2 years. Oh and he still has about the same compression.
Look here:

Mr. Know-It-All wrote:looks like your running way too lean, better be careful you dont burn a hole in the top of your piston, run a lower octane too, todays gas runs hotter than the gas that the bike was designed for, because there was more lead in it back then, or just richen your fuel up just a touch over what its supposed to be ,i have almost 1000 hours on a set of rings and piston i installed two years ago and still have nearly the same compression, you only gain a 1/2 horsepower when you run that lean

Fixed.
Its all good though that 88.7 Hp 96' is going to be his "show" bike.

Shouldn't the old turd (not that 500s are turds) be the thrasher and the SH bike be the trophy????
Won't see stupid shit like that over here.
Glad to see that y'all set him straight.

Gene, dont know if you caught it, but theres a few new members over at Tracy's.... none have motors..... and none have got the "boot" like you did.
More of the same consistancy.....

I had noticed the newbs with no bikes and thought about calling them out on it for a few laughs but then I thought why should I give a shit. That is pretty harsh to hold some to a rule and not others though.

Yeah....I know.
I don't care either.... I got shot in the ass over there for pointing out that kind of truth, look who's laughing now.
I said it before.... Shit like that is proof of where the pro's are.
Maybe he was in fact one of them jet-skiers that they try to keep out.
