you are living the dream pewe,what a great sounding motor,I think that is the first time we have heard a jmr engine!bill
Yes, that nice block is well worth to be heard.
I hope others with the block are using it too. Maybe too good looking to make it dirty?
The bike was an eye catched before. I'm sure I'll get complements and questions about the cylinder. I'll give Mike'´and JMR porting the blame for the good stuff!!
Maybe APE's crank as a part of the stable and vibration free behaviour.
I have to wait until the roads are dry and winter is gone until starting it again. The rings needs to be seated correctly. I'm the believer of the harder way of break-in. I did a gentle break-in as told in the 80's and Yes, the pistons looked like described on this site, not completely sealing.
