    hello i have an aerox 100cc bike with a 70cc engine i got it as a project got it all ready for m.o.t it was running fine so i rode it down for m.o.t
    i got near m.o.t station and the bike blew so i got a new piston and got the barrel hored out
    so i set off again and i got round the corner from m.o.t place and it went again...
    i have not looked at the bike as yet but just wondering what could be the cause i have a temperature sensor fitted but there are no wires to connect to it.
    the bike is not leaking water
    its currently running:
    malossi 70cc kit
    dellorto 17.5mm carb ( think its a 72 jet ) ( chocolate brown in colour )
    uprated clutch
    malossi multivar

    anyone have any ideas what could be wrong or where to start...i asked the guy at garage to check autolube and water pump

    open the cap where you put the antifreez in and let it run like this for few minutes if there was any i should come out
