[QUOTE="Joburble, post: 1376790, member: 108776"] When I was racing MX as a teenager it was normal to replace the rings if the jug was removed and that's what I did regardless of condition. I would not do it now if the rings were less than a couple of hours old. Back to Dave's seized bike: I bet the circlips are still intact, I would expect my bike to seize if I ran it in like Dave said he did. Riding for an hour in 1st and 2nd gear, followed by an [U]hour[/U] of it sitting idling, followed by 10 minutes of putting round, a little bit of throttle in 3rd, followed by slowly riding in 1st, followed by seizure. What is wrong with this picture? No cooling airflow, where's the mystery? I may be wrong, but that's my take on it. Treating a motor like that is just plain cruel and if you don't instinctively know that, you are in for an expensive hobby. That's why I said find another sport. Also, the same goes for if you are going to reuse an item that can be replaced for a few cents, thats just crazy. I don't mean any disrespect Dave, but if you are going to continue riding you really should take advice from the guys on here, as the advice is free and bike parts are expensive. [/QUOTE]
