    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Engine rebuild

Ok,
I really am thinking of rebuilding my 1100 motor. Never done it. Rebuild that is. Minimal mech. exp. How hard is it? How much does it cost to do such a thing or would it be cheaper/faster to send it out somewhere. Or is that a win the lottery first job?
 
First thing:
Buy a Clymer Manual for the bike. You can get them all over the internet for 10-20 bucks. Read what is involved and evaluate if you can take on the project.

Second:
What do you have for tools and a place to work. This will greatly influence the time and money and difficulty level of the job

Third:
If you have time/space and tools you will always be able to save a ton of money doing it yourself.

Hope this helps!
 
Depends on how much you are going to do Budget at least $1000......... if you are having someone do all of the work figure $3000-4000
What problems are you having?? How many miles on the motor???
 
1100 rebuild.

1100 rebuild.

I can offer price in Australian dollars, just in the process myself.
Pistons $ 116, Rings $ 270 genuine std size, After market top end and cover gaskets $180 (includes valve stem seals), gudgeon pins $13, Cost of head clean up and valve lapping ( better to get this done by someone experienced) $ 200, Cost of rebore or honing of the barrels, (honing cost me $50). Will need a small and large torque wrench plus the workshop manual, its a must. Costs can hit the sky, depending on the damage.
 
It rattles loudly when i first start it, and then as it warms slowly goes away or atleast minimises. I had the cam chain checked and its fine. I want to keep my ride, but i have concerns as to what i'm up against.
