AmyK Report post Posted February 18 I have had this sweet little bike for a couple of years. I've done a few things, water pump and all bearings, fixed the fan motor, new shock, new fork seals, new shoes. She runs nice and starts pretty easy. I'm a beginner, so probably not too fussy. I have no idea about the history. When do I consider a top end? Based on the age, I will guess that will include cylinder plating and bottom end bearings too. I don't want to wait until it's too bad that I can't fix it. TIA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dan williams Report post Posted February 21 A set of rings will restore some zip if it’s lacking or hard to start but these chrome bore cylinders don’t wear like the old bikes. If you’re happy with the power and it’s happily humming along it’s fine to just keep riding. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(A-B-C pistons, etc) - Or is it just one size for rings? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
