I have come to the conclusion that my rings are shot on my 450r. I have to refill engine oil about every 2-3 hours and it is smoking like crazy. I can tell that I have lost compression, I can turn the motor over by hand, its a b**ch to start when its cold, and I doesn't feel anywhere near as peppy as my buddies 05 with similar mods. (please state it if you think that something else could be wrong)
Anyways, so I call my dealer today, he told me that I need to replace the stock piston and rings every 25-30 hours...... Is that anywhere near correct? That doesn't sound right at all. I have 100+ hours on her and she never quit at 25-30 hours. Besides the piston, he told me that I would probably need to have atleast 2 of my valves replaced. So, I'm already sick of what I believe to be B.S. Im like well, what are you guys going to charge for all of this if I brought it to you. 8-900$!!!! I'm calling B.S. what do you guys think?
