do it yourself its not that hard if you know how to turn a wrench and have a cylmers manual.... and the stealership will come up with something you need over the 500 to rip you off...

The piston's don't come out the bottom... To start with. Buy the manual, eventually you will need it. You can also do a serch on here for top end, and I'm sure there are about 5,000 threads on what is involved in a top end rebuild. But, to answer the origional question, as long as you get a manual, there is no reason why you can't do the wrench work yourself. You will have to pay someone to do the bore/hone on the cylinders though.

when a dealership says 500, that really means 900 when you pick it up. get friendly with your bike and the clymer manual.it is easy.1st you need to see how far your cylinders need to be bored.if 1 overbore will do it.order pistons and gaskets.get your jugs bored.it can be rebuilt in a few hours.you can do it for under 300, clymer included.

500 bucks??? do it urself and let them or someone else bore and hone the cylinders and u might be lookin at around 300...

[Wallrat]
