Pitting on Cylinders
« on: March 23, 2022, 03:57:49 PM »
Has anyone else come across small swatches of pitting on their cylinders?  I honestly don't think I remember seeing it before, but I could be wrong. Is this normal? If not, is it anything to fret over, will the pits get larger?

Yes, have had that, it's a casting flaw, nothing to worry about.

That's great to know, thank you fellas! I've grown to be a worry wart when it comes to this motor; don't want anything to go wrong or stand in the way!

This is my Kawasaki cylinder that I was concerned about, but has been no issue...
