    hi
    most tyre places blow tyres up to the maximum pressure around 42 psi which makes the tyre pointy in the middle (excuse my technical jargon lol)i would first set pressures to recommended pressures as from the bike manufacturer if that doesn’t work check your head stock bearings are not over tight as any body who has rode off with their steering damper set too high will know the bike will weave all over the shop

    hope this may help

    hi benji
    i dont have a milling machine but i have access to lathes and millers this sort of work can be done with a jigsaw and files though just being a bit flash using a miller lol my friend has made himself a miller with an old piller drill and a second hand miller base …..works well for this type of work and cost about £30.00 to make

    hi benji at the boost im running at the moment standard pistons will be ok you really only have to have forged flat tops when you are going for big boost 15 psi or more or if you intend having the throttle wide open for long periods of time i know of people getting 20000 miles from a turbo on a stock engine no probs
    if you run an intercooler like i intend to its even less of a problem

    well this is what you get from Suzuki for £170 it doesn’t look much but I figure if I am going to rebuild the engine using genuine parts is got to be the way forward I have worked out my compression ratio and I can run standard compression 9.5:1 at between 7-10 psi boost but will have to use super unleaded, as super is only about 6p a litre more than normal unleaded its not going to be too bad
