jesus dajavoo, ANT. And how many of you guys think your ride needs the top end freshened up with all those miles? Christ this isnt a car. Do a compression check for petes sake then contact me about some pistons. LOL

Ya know, I've seen you say this a handfull of times and it just doesn't make any sense to me. Unless the Suzuki is just a POS (possible, I've never owned one before), there's no reason it should need a top end rebuild anytime shy of 100k miles. I've run an '87 VFR700 to 107k miles, and it had the original engine (from 12k when I bought it), with no internal work and compression at the upper end of the factory range at 107k. I had a CB1100f with 60k, and it was the same story... top end of the factory range. Then there was a 50k old EX250 (as in 50k from being rebuilt), right at the top end of the factory range.... and dozens of other bikes in the 30~50k range (but no Suzukis... odd now that I think about it ~ I've not seen high mileage Suzukis ever), never once have I come across one that was running, but had low compression due to wear.

Now, I've had my fair share with burnt valves, one where the rings didn't seat, and a couple with dropped valves ~ but that's a different cup of tea.

So, why do you constantally suggest that B4's, with Low relative miles, would need any sort of rebuild? Or am I just completely missing some tongue in cheekness?

sorry I don't know why it did that?

'92 with 6600 miles on it, none of them mine and won't be for a little bit yet, the good news is it ran with the newly kreemed tank on for a few minutes tonight. Getting closer!

Well... lets see. My first B4 broke a valve shaft at 60,000 miles. and my current has 12,000 miles and counting. I ride them everyday and push them as far as they will go. Although this one I am more careful with. would not want to damage it too soon.

I'm about to hit 13,000 on my next ride
