I just bought an 01 220 that has never been broken down or had rings/piston. The previous owner said it has never had a wrench on it other than oil changes. It appears to have been ridden quite a bit, but cleaned up nicely.
I need some advice from you folks regarding preventative maintenance. In your opinions, should I have a wiseco piston and new rings installed? Where is the best place to buy the wiseco? Is the one on **** a good deal and is that all i need? I'm new to two strokes and will prob. need to have the work done instead of doing it myself... Do i need anything else? Gasket?
It seems to run out really strong, I just don't want problems down the road. Thanks, Craig
ps. i have an 04 KTM 450 EXC also and i bought this as a sort of "throw bike", but i think i am going to have a blast on it. it seems really throwable and versitile. thanks for the site, i read it often! :joke:
