CR 500 bottom end
I recently bought a bike that had a detonated piston...I guess it sent some miniscule metal fragments into the lower end...the guys doing my top end for me tell me that it wont really matter for another couple of years or so (as I'm in a CR 500, and they're supposedly damn near indestructible) and that it will run just fine......but that perhaps after 3 years or so, depending on how much I ride it, I'll probably want to have my bottom end rebuilt. I was quoted about 500 bucks on the whole deal, with a new crank. My question is once this is done, is it basically like having a new motor? or will it still be all yucked up from that detonation so long ago? Does anyone have any experience in this?
