Australian GRA member Geoff Lemar has been in touch with me about a very original 36MX4 he is in the process of recommisioning. He has a couple of questions that I thought I would pass on to our experts;
Hi Brian, Happy Easter to you and your family. I took the bike out for a ride today getting a pinging noise or the piston is hitting the head but only near full revs; other that it’s great. Do they have a head gasket as I can see a gap between the head and the barrel. I’m not sure but I don’t like the noise, but when you rev it up not under load you don’t get the noise !! very strange can you help??
Any ideas chaps?
Thanks!
I'll remind him to register for the forum too. It will be a great resource for our overseas members.
