Most of the time you'll get away with a hone and a new set of standard size rings.

Measure the ring gap as it sits now. Then after a light hone. Have you got a manual with the specs in ?

Well I've made a boo boo when attemting to undo the bolts for the Air Suction valve from the cylinder 3 of the bolts heads snapped of and as i was in a rush to get it do and out of my wifes way.i used an easy out which in turn snapped (I know don't say it f****** easy outs) so then tryed to drill it out Idid but guess what it made a complete mess so now not enough metal for helicoil which is what i should have done in the first placed.So what do you guys think of Epoxy putty then tapping it fitting a helicoil in and then thread locing the new bolts in.It dosn't need to hold up to much as its not a high presure part.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
