[QUOTE="BadgerMan, post: 703821, member: 21176"] Wow, thanks for the feedback! Rich, I am pretty sure that, given ample time, I could do the work myself (remember the analogy about monkeys and typewriters?). :) The problem is finding the time. It is getting harder to just find the time to ride anymore, let alone do a rebuild. I also need to do the top end on my son’s KDX this winter. Normally, I do all my own suspension work and I am even considering sending that out too. The other issue is the lower end since I have no experience below the base gasket except for clutch maintenance. One person has told me to definitely replace the crank as a prophylactic measure but most say not to go into the lower end unless I find a problem when doing the top end. Given the bike’s relatively easy life thus far and its intended purpose going forward (trail riding), I am leaning towards leaving it alone (unless I find it needs it). Two options I am considering: 1. Doing the top end myself but sending the head out to be refreshed (good suggestion). 2. A turnkey top end job by a local dealer with a mechanic who was highly recommended to me. I spoke with him today and he felt there was no need to replace the crank unless there is a problem. Top end job………$150.00 plus parts. Priceless! Thanks again, Tim [/QUOTE]
