@yb100. Bro can you find out the price of a GTO125 cylinder and piston+rings. Nothing urgent-do it in your own time.

You can also try Colgate white Toothpaste to polish the bore,before trying to kick and move the piston...Tooth paste is a mild abrasive and cleans and polishes surfaces well.

@psr: Anna, good news. The piston and bore look good. The piston has dried engine oil on the top that is giving it a black look. Ditto with the cylinder head. The bore doesn't have any rust - only dried oil residue. I have dipped the piston in Kerosene oil for the night - will be cleaning it tomorrow evening. Surprisingly, the piston was moving freely after I removed the engine block from the chassis.

The next two days will be very busy so I'll get to work only in the evenings.

If possible do upgrade the front brakes to a pulsar classics disk unit

@ kb100: you read my mind buddy. In fact this was the only modification I was planning on. I want to keep the rest as stock as possible.

I have a classic P150 and I absolutely love it although I get to ride it only on weekends.

I haven't been able to open the head lamp yet. One rusted screw is giving me problems. I have recovered the tail lamp bulb and a few turn indicator bulbs though and will be subjecting them to a continuity test on the multimeter soon.

Will heed your advice on the Yezdi fuel filter. Keep the suggestions coming buddy.
