Hi,
I’m interested in checking the condition of my piston / rings. Will the top end come off the cylinder with the engine in situ or do I have to plan on removing the engine?
The space looks pretty cramped, but maybe removing the rad frees up enough room?
Thanks.

Hi all just wanted to verify that I need to split the cases to get to the cylinder and piston to do a top end rebuild? I lost compression and the bike died on me yesterday on a ride. Trying to do a run down on all the parts I'm going to need to order, so I can hopefully do it all in one go...

Ok hi guys,
I did an oil change on my burg it's a fe 450 and i pulled the screen out of the banjo bolt at the top of the engine and now can't remember which way it goes in.

I'm going to freshen up the top end and am looking at ProX or Wossner piston kits and I'm having difficulty trying to find somewhere in OZ where I can get aftermarket gaskets or should I stick with Genuine all the way.
Any advise appreciated

Here we go on a top end refresh. Got timing chain,valve seals, double springs, cam follower bearings. Have everything apart and am thinking about starter problems. Will spin but disengage. Works, but since I have everything off now what is problem? Sprague?torque limiter? Thanks for advice.

Can someone tell me if I can get the head and barrel off the 70 degree engine while it is in the frame. I have had to pull most of the bike apart to get the mid pipe out, ( to repair a crack around the mounting bracket and it is worn pretty bad where it slips in the silencer ) so at 166hrs I...
Hi all,
I've got 3100kms on my 390 at 110 hours. She is running well but after spending 3 days punishing her in 60 metre high sand dunes, pinned in 4th and 5th gear for hours on end, I'm seriously considering a top end rebuild. I try to do my servicing myself, in the past I have replaced all...
Hi all,
I stripped down cylinder head, inlet valves are completely destroyed, and also one valve seat from inlets.
Since OEM 37mm inlet valves cost fortune, 100E each, I was thinking to go on Husaberg 04/KTM 35mm, did someone try this modification?
What could be drop in power?

Hi all,
I just installed a Scotts damper on my 2012 FE390. I took a number of photos as I went just to make sure everything went back together the same way it came off, I'm an expert at forgetting how to put things back together. So after fighting with the forks and top triple clamp for about...
