After i know now that i blew my rings, i removed the exhaust and look into the engine. i found a lot of rails on the piston.

does it mean also that the cylinder will be rail?

does it have been cause by then ring or the ring may be intact and it just because the piston is now too "railed"?

Congrats on the bike. You're gonna love it. If the jets are too small, i think it'll make it run hotter than normal. I noticed in both of your posts you mentioned something about the carb, what makes you worried about it

yeah, must have gotten HOT. i bet the piston expanded so much since it is aluminum and it scraped the cylinder, since it couldn't expand fast enuf. it prolly totalled the rings since it got so hot, and since they prolly got full of metal flakes...

^^^ the piston expanded too fast for the cylinder..... or your piston could have just melted and gooed into the cylinder wall. open her up and look to see if the piston looks like a bowl...

yeah i worry about my carb cause my little bro play with it after i clean it up. but he tell me that he didn't play with the jetting screw. i think he lie to me.

damn bro you cost me an arm :)

gotta go to a honda shop in few min to evaluiate the damaged and everything. and to see if it's been cause by a lean mix.

gotta come back with news
