Title: Rebuild Time!!!!!!!!
Post by Willaction on 06/03/18 at 10:48:09

I'm about to rebuild my top end. I'm waiting on all the parts. Adjuster and oil plug cap from Versy, rocker arms and gaskets from bike bandit and a few other odds and ends.

This forum has been a lifesaver for me so I think it's time I start giving back. I'll be posting everything I do (pics and maybe videos). In hopes it'll help anyone who gets stuck with a lemon of a bike like I did.

With that said, does anyone have some quick tips or suggestions before I start this build? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

-Will

Why not ?
Maybe bigger bore wit higher compression
A little more $hit n git

Why not?
It's summer time.
That's a winter project,
Unless just maintenance won't make it rideable.

It's leaking a lot of oil from the head and the valve rockers seem to be worn down. So I figured I'd try take care of everything all at once. Someone was in there before and used gasket maker and did a terrible job at it.

Tighten motor mount bolts that go thru frame & engine and see if it slows or stops the leak !
