Way-Good stuff Cat8 Thank You

I am going to try and get another mile outa her, before I tear into her

Hoping to make it to winter, riding season right now, Riding season all the time in Mccloud

Eh, I'll probably get about 7500 then. :)

On my XP900 when it was using a lot of oil it was the valve guides . With that said on the 800 if your going to the head it is easy to change the rings at the same time.

When we were following you Saturday Leo we could see Blue smoke through the dust lol..hopefully you can get it fixed to ride with us at Sand Mountain

Yep for certain i am forced to finally tear it apart, used over a quart for our 103 mile shasta to trinity ride

She has gone seven easy years with-out a lick of trouble, so that ain't to shabby

I am thinking of instead of going up like most do, may sell her or part her out, than get a 1000xp

Naaaa been really thinking of 570 Ace instead

Don't really know what am going to do at this moment

I decided not to cheap-out, but I am doing all the work my-self, so guess I am cheapening-out

Ordered new jug, pistons, seals, rings, gaskets, from cheapcycleparts for 700 buxs

prolly get in done in June, parts will be here next week

Shit they want 2000 to 3000 buxs if they rebuild it, sounds like easy money to me

Will take pics and let you all know

How long it will take an old, ugly, fat, slow guy to do-it!

To Easy

About 1 hr to take apart

Enjoy my very entertaining Video

Sang a song in it, to make it not so Boring
