So why spend so much money on all these engine rebuilds, new pistons etc.
because the front piston is grooved and I cannot find a replacement. A dealer
has a HC pistons but no OEM which are unavailable even in Bologna unless you buy the barrel.

I am not looking for increased performance, just peace of mind that my engine will not blow up. There is no point in giving out obviously not pertinent comment on forks and tyres.
