So i just greased everything, and noticed that i am missing a collar in the swingarm on the right side... I think my mechanic (who greased it last) must have forgot about it or something, because the bearings had a tiny bit of rust on the side without the collar versus the side with the collar. But i have a...

Be aware that 1.14mm converts to 0.045". Thats 45 thousandths of an inch. Very good squish number. You have posted 0.0045". Thats 4 1/2 thousandths of an inch. Way, way too tight.

Hello, So i just changed piston in my 250yz to a Vertex. The Vertex base gasket is 0.5 mm and i dont know what the OEM was. But i measured the squish to be at 1.14 mm (0.0045 inches) and im worried that this is to tight with the Rinaldi head i have on. It pulls like CRAZY, but should...

After piston change my bike started pinging. I measured the squish and it’s at 1,14mm, and I run with a Rinaldi head which makes better compression... should I get a bigger head gasket?? I heard 1,3 mm is minimum for a 250 2 stroke, but can’t find much about it. But this would explain the pinging.

I'm hearing a bit of a bearing growl. Almost sounds like a bad big end bearing of the connecting rod or a bad main bearing. Listening to videos is very difficult to diagnose and it's way better to hear in person. For sure something doesn't sound right to me. I would inspect the lower end rod bearing for radial play and take the stator cover off and try to wiggle the flywheel up and down and back and forth. You already have it torn down, you might as well inspect everything to avoid a catastrophic failure.

Hello, I just did a piston change on my 250yz which have done 80 hours total. It started first time and went racing no problems... But It has this ping or ding sound and I don’t think it made this sound with the old piston... I think it might be because of the better compression, but not sure.. my buddies...
