Bike: 999R / 998 Bayliss

Something I noticed while putting the pistons in, using lots of engine oil off course.

The top of the piston comes within 0.7mm of the top plain of the barrel. That basically means that there is absolutely no room for error in getting the timing wrong. The valves and the piston must clear with barely a breath to spare between them....
