[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1461741, member: 19880"] I think it could likely have been started if the OP had been persistent with the WOT method (and a fully charged battery). Fair chance that some or most of the carbon could have been cleaned up with "spirited" riding, good quality fuel and the use of Techron or Yamaha Ring-Free. Still, it doesn't tell me why there was this much buildup on the piston tops in the first place. Answers to [USER=91933]@Diablo1[/USER] questions (above) might help. The possibility of overfilled oil, in particular, might be good to know and I would love to see how the sparkplugs looked. I doubt that there is an issue with piston ring changes or we would be seeing more of this. In addition to oil consumption between changes, I would be curious as to what oil was used and if any additives were used. Edit: Have a look at your airbox and see if there is any oil in it. This could happen if oil was overfilled... Any blue smoke? [/QUOTE]
