Message: [QUOTE="uts, post: 820920, member: 49992"] You can look at it 2 ways. A lot of people are hell bent on replacing the top end all the time to prevent costly engine damage. But too many people do it way too often. If you are mechanically able you can strip it down and check it out, but if you are not it will cost a lot to pay a mechanic to do it for you. If you leave it and just ride it may go years and then blow up. Now you may have wrecked the bottom end as well and are up for a complete rebuild. But if you replaced the top end as often as others say you may have spent more money in the same time on top ends.(now I have confused myself) Get a manual for your bike and strip it down. Take the piston assembly and cylinder to a shop and get them to do the specs. The instructions in the manuals are very easy to follow. [/QUOTE]
