We had a very disappointing race on Sunday.  The little 80, my old faithful, decided she was not going to run on Sunday.  At first it seemed like I was fouling a plug or having a fuel issue.  First practice she just died but kicked right back over.  Second practice we made 3 laps and she just died.  Would not kick over.  After we pulled the plug, we found the gap completely gone and a little ball of metal inside.  So with baited breath I wait to pull the cylinder off to see what kind of damage we have.


The top end was fresh.  In fact, we only heat cycled it.  So I am very nervous to see what is in there.  Here's hoping it's just a ring!!!!


I really think it's a jealousy thing.  I've been riding the 250F so much my little 80 is jealous!!! :)
