I'm not sure which year. It looks like a 1981 or so. Alan ... From: "Stanley Verobish" <verobish@...> To: <EnduroITseries@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday,...
Alan, you might want to check the serial numbers on the engine to be sure. There are some major changes through the years. 80 and 81 are the same, 82 and 83...
Serial number appears to be 8R6-002154. Chain is on the right and exaust vents to the left. Let me know if that helps. Alan Subject: Re: [EnduroITseries] IT...
It's an 80. The number is actually 3R6. I'll look for the head, if you're interested. What's wrong with your cylinder? Can't it be bored any further? Stan ... ...

Hi all, I'm new to the group, just thought I'd post a few details from an IT owner in Tasmania. I own a 84' IT 200, as of yet the bike is fairly stock...
hey, what's the go with piston clearance (with bore) and ring end gap. i got a rebore for the 465, third over, and i reckon they could have gone too big. as...
hey, that's good news joel - thanks dude! now, what's your view on running in new rings? i saw one site which recommends just going for it, to maximise the...
I always heat cycle the engine a few times before I ride it. Fire it up and get it up to operating temp just revving it up and let it cool down between. Then...
If you are not going to rebore, and only replace rings, I would suggest honing the cylinder to get those good and fresh crosshatch marks that will help the...
If you just had it bored it should have been honed. Be sure to clean the bore with hot soapy water until a white paper towel wiped on it comes out clean. Oil...
joel, maybe you'll offer an opinion on this. first session running in new piston and rings after i had my cylinder rebored, i had a dose of detonation (for...
Gerard, 20 secs of detonation? This shouldn't have damaged the bore, I know you said it was from bad fuel, another thing I was thinking off is it may also have...

I just started my bike for the first time since I bought it and the engine revved up to the point that I though it was going to blow. This all occurred with no...
