Jason,
That's good news and just in time for this beautiful early summer that we are having.
I had two stroke's and survived.

Great ride yesterday, even if not the worlds most comfortable set up with clip ons, rearsets and no seat :D
The most exciting part of the ride was on duel carriageways overtaking with no indicators or mirrors !!!!

Don't worry, you get used to it ....... not always great for your nerves though :shock:
Best solution is to just cruise along like an old fart ( which is what I am anyway :lol: ).

To be fair the plan was just to cruise around at sensible speeds ....... that lasted for about four seconds and then I was 18 again :lol:

Take care if you have fitted forged pistons, in the early days of running them in they need time to warm up and "relax" into their final shape/dimension.....(oh dear, I might have just reopened the eternal debate on how to run in a two stroke :lol: )
Cheers
