Are you using the correct 3 bond. The standard one is melted by modern fuel allowing the crankcase to suck in air/oil.Rex caunt sells the correct version for 2 strokes.

You need to load it up a bit, just gently riding is as bad as letting it idle. Load it by making it work not slog in high gears.

Try 2 different dyes in the oil to be certain. I remember on a forum somewhere that they used foam draught excluder pretty sucessfully.

Yep 8 thou. I usually cut up a milk bottle into strips and place them around the rotor to give even clearance.

Build it, start it, ride it in a spirited manner for 20-30 mins so the engine isnt labouring . Go through all of the gears and let it work a bit shutting off periodically to load the rings up with back pressure.
Job done.
Job done.

Oil tap with switch from kingpin components. By far the best on the market.

Put the bike on your lift . Secure it with strap or get someone to hold it. Use a hook of some sort and pull the spring with a ratchet strap attatched to the ramp or round the back wheel.t

Whatever you use remember to dose them up inside with talcum powder first.
