You are on thin ice. If you have any choice take the piston, rings and Barrel to a machine shop and ask the nice man for assistance. 2 compression rings, any...
I would second that. Also check the weight of the JP piston against your old piston . The one I fitted to my Ariel was vastly heavier and made the bike...
FWIW, I think that the stock Bullet is best when the rpms are kept under 5000 rpm, and the sustained cruising speeds are kept to 55-60 mph. This is a measure...
Part # 20016A is the long stroke version, which will give you a displacement of 570cc with the 84mm piston, or 612cc with the 87mm piston. It is commonly...
... We seem to be after the same thing from our Bullets Bill. Ive gone "belt & braces" in the spec of my engine, and got the stroker version of the Hitchcock...
Masterful job, as usual with your descriptive writings, Ace. I am of course committed to my 350 cc AVLs, and can't foresee being able to afford more, nor want...
We don' need no stinkin' factory tools. I was on my way to the Jewelry Store to buy a suitable nut and bolt for my home made pinion puller when I suddenly...
I am speechless!!! Well done, your creation has a beautiful sound, sleak look. I am green with envy. I hope you can bring it to one of the RE reunions....

In my AVL 350, the plug at the rear is without the screen, the two forwards have the screen. The rear one is for the main chamber where most of the oil is. ...
... Anyone ... Hello Bill, Ive weighed mine for you, all in the OE piston is 555grams my new Accralite is 554, so not a lot of difference in this case. I dont...
HI, I have the same question about the Cast Iron engine in my 1999 Bullet. It came with no screens at all. I have purchased 2 plugs with the screens, but I'm...
... Bill, I dont say this just because Ive spent a packet on these flywheels, but I really think that as long as you can afford it and have the inclination, do...
... The screens are there to surround the pickup tubes for pressure and scavenge pumps. If you feel around up there, you should be able to feel the pickup ...
... Thanks DWM, it certainly is some encouragement. For one thing, my motor is rated at 6 to 15 hp depending on the juice applied, so seeing all that torque...
It seems that both the RE C5 and Suzuki TU250 are attracting great attention. Both, singles,standards,sensible, and with prospective purchasers salivating, not...
It's fun to compare the Suzuki TU250 to the Royal Enfield (it looks to me more like a G5 than the C5). But the appeal and the economics at work aren't...
