Well with George im sure he runs on Fiji time, my bet would be end of august, early sept,although told him next week would be good

Have the Kato apart, found the problem broken 3x teeth 2 on kickstart gear one of the gear at the rear of clutch basket,1x smashed clutch plate, an 2 needles gone from needle bearing, lucky it happened on start up and I shut her down as soon as I heard it go. $467.83 later and shes away again, but this time its got larger ktm300 gears as they are stronger, turns out it was a fault and the 250s went to these gears on the later models.
Strange about the barrells got to be the porting, or compression be interesting to measure them up
