Is glazing a real risk with idling engines or a myth ?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I'm in the same situation Dom I need to go out for a few runs on my 500 before it's too wet & cold. I was planning a ride this afternoon but I've done a bit of gardening whilst it's still dry. Now I'm too tired,
looks like Tuesday might be dry here in Derby.
Bryanj:
I can tell you that when Kawasaki came out with the Z 1000 quite a few were rebored under warantee due to people babying them far too much, basically lugging the engine is far worse tha reving it plus dont sit at a steady speed for long periods, us B and C roads even SHORT bursts to red line
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I avoid dual carriageways - my favourite run on the 400 has been to Ashbourne & out on the Leek road - its all very bendy & hilly so lots of up and down the gears with virtually no chance to run at a steady speed.

No myth here, but lucid look at piston rings in general and down to finer detail

Quite informative, I think.
