  2. I bought a new set of rings for my 97 sport with 107k miles on it but when I went to check the ring gap I was in for a big surprise, like a 1/4" surprise . I checked the part numbers on the set and each ring and they are correct. My calculation say they are for a 90 mm bore, 1000 Daytona, instead of the 92mm bore of the 1100 Sport. Anyone else ever have this problem?
  3. Mine was one of the first 1100 Sports in 97 and came with straight cut gears. I bought it 9 months old with 15k miles on it pretty much sight unseen. I traded a 1991 Ducati 900SS and cash for it and met the guy half way between Kansas City and Seattle, anyway when I got it home the transmission sounded like a Toyota going up the street in reverse. Moto Guzzi ended up replacing all the gears but one under warranty. They hadn't been hardened correctly. After that no problems. I have replaced all the engine and transmission seal at about 50k miles. I took the head to the machine shop with 2 new exhaust valves, 4 new valve guides and a new exhaust seat just incase it's required. Here's a nice video on NOT honing Nikasil. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaFp8aYkHNA
  4. The engine has never been apart. Never hone nikasil, I'll be cleaning the cylinders and just adding new rings.
  5. I took the Sport top end off because of low compression on the left cyl. The cylinder looked great but the valve is a bit off. Not bad for 107,000 miles. I'm going to re-ring it just for fun.
