6speed Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 My bike still runs good , but after I've ridden it enough to get it warm and turn it off it rolls in gear on the slightest incline. I don't have a compression tester yet to look at numbers, but I'm guessin it needs rings. I'm sure this is a stupid question but on the first rebuild can I buy stock size rings and just lightly hone the cylinders and button it back up. Or do I need to bore it 10 over and buy pistons too?

biggun6ss Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 It all depends on the way your cylinders look. If they aren't scratched up, then you can just hone it. Sometimes you can just buy a set of rings and use the same pistons unless the pistons are bad. Quote

The stock pistons looked perfect and the cylinders didn't look bad at all. So I just had them honed and put Wiseco stock size rings put back on the stock pistons. Quote
