_JOE_ said:Do I change my piston every 7.5 hours like my manual says, no. I go closer to 30 or 40, but rings every 15 or 20. .

_JOE_ said:Service intervals are listed in the manual. If you didn't get one already, GO BUY ONE. If you're going the pull it apart, you might as well change the piston/rings, clean the power valve, and inspect the rod and crank for play. Also look at the clutch plates(specs are in the manual), and inspect the reeds for any cracks/chips/frayed ends. If the top end hasn't been done since 04 you are long overdue, unless it wasn't ridden for a couple years. Also take the time to clean the carb while you're at it. I'm glad to hear you repacked the silencer! Too many people run around with blown out silencers. Good luck and have fun!
dirteater17 said:yea I've got an aftermarket manual but the number seem a little.......................odd? for example; it says to replace the sprocket after 4 hours, replace the piston after 7 hours. piston cost $100 each, Sprockets $75. in 1 ride i usally do 4 hours. if i did everthing this manual says i might as well go and buy a new bike every few months.
