Get in touch with a ring manufacture, see if they can make up rings for you, though you would need to source pistons as low tension rings...

I think to answer your question; I see your statement of 6 months of seat time raises a red flag to me; a 750 cc bike is not a "beginners" bike....
Look for a body shop/collision repair near you; they are in the business of shooting paint. Go in and talk to them.
Mid 60's here in New York today. Forecast to be like this till Sunday.

Here is a wild, wild guess......Do you have stock pipes or after market? You may be experiencing reversion which comes as a result of poor...
I'm surprised that no one has asked if it is firing on all 4 cylinders......OP did state he had ignition trouble to start with
I will try to get there earlier this year............rain or shine
Heat the area where the stud enters the head is a good idea, as is welding a nut onto the remains of the stud, it gives you something to get a...
