    your gearing choice is really the same as his 12-48 but lasts much longer, and is probably a bit easier on the chain as well! i run this same gearing on almost any liquid swede..

    Regarding clutch adjustment, I tighten the adjuster on the pressure plate until there is zero clearance, then back it off one turn, just guessing but I would estimate 3-5mm at the arm.

    Gearing on my 88 is 13-53 and works great.

    Wossner do a piston that only requires a very small mod, not expensive either. It is a standard 240 piston that I have listed on here previously. This one is 1.00mm oversize.

    Hi,
    I was just looking at those pistons on bikes and bits website (importer of Wossner pistons herein Aust).
    I rode Cookardinia in 18' we had a 79 SWM 250L a KTM 250Mx and mine KDX 250.

    will speak again, lovely country on the Monaro high plains ......
