I ordered a Wossner piston kit from the UK last night, cant wait for it to arrive.
In the meantime I have ordered a new clutch and throttle cable, clutch lever and swingarm bearings, I really should start a proper thread of the bike :lol:!

Fitted new piston and rings without any problem.
Tightened everything back up and after a little issue with the carb, 2nd kick and BOOM combustion :-D
I have the swingarm arm off atm, changing bearings, so I didnt run the bike for too long while on the stand. I cannot feckin wait to have her moving, run it in and give her welly then :-D

Finally got around to riding the bike properly today. Absolutely delighted with how it ran and my new found power :-).
Firstly, the bike starts on first kick every-time now, which makes life very easy!
The new powervalves have made a big difference, much more top end, when before it seemed to go flat after the middle.
The bike feels quicker and snappier overall, whether its down to greater compression or me being rusty :-D
Real happy with her now and am surprised how everything is working after doing all the work by myself without an ounce of previous knowledge. Onwards and upwards now hopefully, thanks for all the help btw guys :-)
