Hmmm. Thanks very much!

Quote from: "Tom Herold"Don't let anyone tell you they'll bore out the sleeves and re-ring the pistons for you, that's garbage and a temproary fix at best. Do it right and replace them, it's easier and cheaper!

There's nothing wrong with getting the liners rebored but you must get oversized pistons and rings to suit. Regrind the valves while you've got the head off and it'll be as good as new.

To each his own, everyone's entitled to their opinion!

You're the owner, you decide how you want your bike worked on.

My 03 Tiger still runs strong. Burns a little oil but nothing I can't live with.
