Top end question
« on: June 25, 2005, 04:14:01 AM »
This summer I am starting over on my 500.  I screwed up before with my pipe and reed valve and gearing.  Something was off and it seemed slower.

Now I have a FMF desert pipe and v-force 2 reed valve on the way.  Had pro circuit and 1Dir racing reed valve.  I am also going to pull the top end and get it ported and polished.  

Should I put new rings on even if I had good compression and everything looks ok??

Yes.  That way you start off with everything fresh.

When you get it done you should come to the dunes with us.

We will have to get together.  Like I said before I try to goto the dunes at least 2-3 times a month in the winter.  Will keep in touch and let you know how it goes.

Just went there couple weeks ago for memorial day..  I did not like it too much.  I will not be riding for the rest of the summer.  It's lake season for us now and I am going to take my time fixing the bike and we are also moving in a few weeks so I don't want to tear it down until after we move.
