Hi,
Assessing the engine that came with my latest bargain basket case and would really appreciate advice etc. now it's stripped.
Clocks show 36k miles and bike generally looks to have had a pretty hard life.
Bought it partially stripped but dry stored.
Bores are worn and pistons all had broken top rings so I guess rebore is needed - any idea on cost and where to get it done?
Bottom end seems OK at first look - are there known problems I should look for / things to check?
I guess key question is whether it's sane to refurbish the old engine or look out for a running one instead - any opinion?
Cheers
Andy
