    My suggestion is to just get the piston imported, its a 65mm Weisco piston with the part number in the picture. Get your standard block rebored locally, will save you loads of cash!

      Cant really say what the problem would be but if it happened after the first service then its obviously the items they checked and adjusted. Why don't you take it back to the service station and have them rectify it? They should have adjusted the valve clearance & cleaned/adjusted the carb so I would have them redo these items again and see if it rectifies the problem. The valve clearances need to be adjusted when the engine is cold so be prepared for a wait. Ask them to blow the carb with compressed air and take it from there.

      Check you idle speed, it should be 1400 rpm (+/- 100 rpm) when the engine is warm.

      From what you describe it could very well be the choke stuck in the open position, try and screw it out and screw it back again. You will need to get the carb out for this.

          What about the head? stock or will it need any modifications?

            No modifications on mine and none suggested by BBR. Planning to match it to the new bore to get rid of the narrow squish band at the edges.

            • ok, i guess all of us will be keenly watching this thread. Big bore on current engine makes more sense than ripping the guts off my Karizma. At least this way, I ll have two fully running motorcycles.

                            I bought the same helmet, but it was very uncomfortable in highway / expressway riding, air blows in face also the visor shakes. Then I had to return and get a usual vega. I think its only for motocross type of riding, not for long ride especially on highways.
                            Its crime to ride a car alone, so I ride bike :).
