2013 EC250R - 130hrs

[Jakobi]

Last couple rides I noticed the poor little bike getting softer off the bottom and through the mid. The kick starter felt to be rolling through a bit too easy, and often would take a 2nd or 3rd kick to fire up. Todays ride she was flaming out a bit when pulling up as well.

Compression gauge showed 15% loss from last piston.

Pulled down after the ride. Piston wash looked slightly rich in comparison to some of my others (which had been abused with lean jetting runs). Surprisingly not a whole lot of blow by noted, however quite a bit of polishing and wear on the skirts (both rear and front). Top ring gap measured .8mm. Lower ring .65mm.

All done in 65hrs ride time. Not sure what people are doing to get 300hrs out of their slugs.
