[QUOTE="Micaiahfied, post: 1263021, member: 84509"] Hey guys, this is my first post. I've been around mechanical things for a long time but this is the first dirt bike that I have owned. It's a 1986 XR600. I've been reading up on the bikes and found that with any power added they tend to round the dawgs on 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear. I'm sure it has something to do with the way the previous owner rode it as well... So now to my question... How hard is it for a first timer to split the cases and rebuild things. I have a shop and all the tools needed, a shop manual for the bike, and I am very mechanically adept. I only paid $400 for the bike (with manual and an expensive pair of boots) But talking to a local shop with a very reasonable shop rate of $35/hr He thought it would be 10-12 hrs + parts bringing me to the $600-700+ range. I don't mine putting $200-300 in parts and seal, but can't justify the labor. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance! Mark [/QUOTE]
