yamaha350 Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 it is easy to do. tke the cylinders off and get them bored. that will run about 80. new pistons are 120 - 150. get wisecos. slap it back together and go. buy a clymer manual if you arent sure about youself. it will help alaot. Quote

Rescuejeff Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Best thing about that is the torque ratings, or spend the big bucks and get the Yamaha version. Quote
SDD Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Before you tear it down for a new topend you might want to try a better gauge if you have a cheap/old one. What altitude and what tempature are you taking the kicking compression tests at? You should measure your cylinders before boring them to be sure it's really neccessary. The problem is actually measuring them out. You need some specific tools to get the info you need to make the decision. If everything is in check maybe just rings are in order to get things back up to where they should be. Quote
LIsurfer_ Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Posted April 30, 2004 The temp was in the 70's yesterday and I am @ 1000 above sea level. If I pull the jugs I will probably take them to a local shop to get bored / honed depending on what they say they need. The guage was a fairly new one not a real cheapy. I have been having a hard time starting and it was reccomended that I check compression. I do not really have a hard time believing that it was a true reading. Quote
nickxc Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Even if it wasn't a true reading its prolly close enough that you should freshen up. If your gunna pull your top end down youd be crazy to just throw in a set of rings and put it back together for what it costs to do a good job its worth it. get a fresh bore it will make everything a lot tighter... over time cylinders get out of round and need to have a fresh bore. also I would consider vitos pistons. I'v used them and the performance shop that does all my work uses them in some of their banshees and we have had good luck with nice performance results from them. Quote
