    Thumbs up Does anyone no a good mechanic , To rebuild the motor in an RC51

    Im thinking of having the bikes motor rebuilt over the winter. The bike has 36000 fast pace miles. I notice a little bit of smoke somtimes , when i get on it hard. Losing power over time and motor sound a little loose. Alot more vibration. Bike is very well maintained.
    If anyone has any suggestions , I will listen , If anyone knows any tricks or secrets to get more power . I appretiate and thank everyone that can help

    Thank everyone and have a good night

    There is a few out there with almost 100 k miles without a rebuild. I dont think you can kill em.

    Ride more. Worry less.

    If the smoke is black then it's prolly running a bit rich.

    Blue is oil.

    White is exhaust moisture burning off or antifreeze.

    Loose is fast, brah!

    Nice disclaimer. I see you've read the group ride rules here.

    If you have a power commander try reloading the map. It may just be off. Also at your mileage I would change the plugs. I did mine at 17k and it made a big difference. Finally you should probably have the valve clearance checked.

    You have to specify what you want

    Some smoke is probably valve seals and guides

    Do a compression check 1st if OK
    Fogetaboutit

    rebuild is to open a term

    DOn't let them yank your chain
    long wheelies hurt some motors because of oil starvation from pumps on some bikes
    otherwise it ain't no thing
