Author Message   No_rice Posted on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - 04:11 pm:        what i am wondering, is what the plan is if this thing ever needs to be freshened up, since it was stated that there would only be one size of piston offered and the cylinders are not supposed to be able to honed out. am i expected to have to just buy new pistons AND cylinders to go .10 over or something minor like that.   Starter Posted on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - 04:39 pm:        Electroplate cylinder bores I'd assume. The SCEM on my 1998 GSXR750 went 55,000km with less than a thou of measurable wear between 2 ring jobs. Similar stuff on my Husly 2 Stroke is approaching 6 rebuilds with 1 piston replacement and only rings. It is TUFF stuff.   Anonymous Posted on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - 04:43 pm:        That's all, just replace pistons and rings. No oversize. And, it'll take a long time to get to where you need 'em.   No_rice Posted on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - 05:09 pm:        thanks, i knew it should take a long time, but it just had me thinking when i was looking through the parts manual earlier.
