Yamaha SRX600. Rings need doing?

Yup plugs are a bit oily and been advised that the deposit things are oil ish. Haha I asked the mechanic if it could be done without doing the head, he said no :-p

What's your project? The cbr? Haha thanks! I'd probably do it if I had a garage and not a long under deck carport with power/lighting

Yeah we sold the CBR. Have some projects around the house that need sorting. 4 bikes should really be enough.

And i want to do motor work on the VTR, cams and head work etc.

They are just a 600 single dirt bike type motor? Take one evening to pull the head, another to do the seals and lap the valves then a third to refit. Then the cost is oil and a head gasket set.

It's been for 6 runs or so, problem comes down to the plugs it keeps killing. Smoking didn't seem to decrease, time it runs for does though

If it's getting worse not better, then it's probably not going to come right by itself.

Normally smoking on overrun is caused by worn valve guides or stuffed seals, smoking on acceleration or constant running piston/rings/bore, either way it's head off to find out.

To be fair I would do the whole top end to be sure.

If I was planning on keeping it, so would I.

I'm uncertain on keeping haha but tbh if I'm going to put money like this into it I should!

Spoke to him today and I'll take it back into him as an engine only which will keep costs down a whole lot :-). He'll pull the head off and take a look, then let me know what has to, should be and might as well replace while there with estimates for each option :-).

Next is to find a car paint place that will paint it for me fairly cheapish (do car places usually use 2k paint?), and then while the engine is out need to polish up the side covers that the clear coat has started to go on. Any idea about what I can do about this? Buff back with wire until the finned part and then put polish on it? Or should I/is it possible to get high temp clear coat?

If you are going to take the motor out, you may a well rebuild it in the lounge in front of the TV.

Lol! Here I was thankful my wife bought me my first bike, and lucky to have three! Struggling to get a garage over the line, let alone turn the lounge into a garage ;-). I might give it a go if I had a garage and someone to give me some pointers at tricky bits and lend me a couple of the specific tools I hear one needs.
