[QUOTE="WoodsRider, post: 102241, member: 16545"] FWIW - I was talking to Fredette once about pre-mix ratios. Does anyone remember the SNAFU at the '99 Portugal ISDE, where straight gasoline was accidentally filled into the tanks of some US riders on two-strokes? Well Jeff rolled into that gas stop with just under a half-tank of pre-mix. The US support (pit) crew started filling his tank. When they had just about topped it off someone discovered the mistake. The pit crew wanted to drain his tank, but Jeff refused and kept riding. If I'm not mistaken this problem happened half-way through day two, with about four days of riding left. Jeff finished on silver that year. The knocking you heard was probably piston-slap. Follow CDave's advice on cleaning the cylinder. The Nikasil plating can stand up to a fair amount of abuse. Use a glaze-breaker (dingle-berry) hone on the cylinder and install a new piston and rings. Make sure to check the side clearance on the main bearing to the connecting rod. [/QUOTE]
