Hi !
Do not make the mistake and overhaul your engine before it needs about 1 1/2
- 2 l oil per 1000 km.
If you are a decent driver your @ could run over 100.000 km without
mentioning oil-consumption.
My predecessor was not a decent driver, so I had to overhaul my 650-@-engine
already after 52.000km because of the oil-consumption of about 4 l per
1000km (!!!). Although the consumption was so high, my 650 -@ run very well,
the only problem was that I had to fill up the oil every 100km and the
environmental pollution.
The overhauling of the engine needs about 1 week of time and costs about 500
Euro.
First search for a engine-renovation-workshop who can smooth your cylinders
!
Change the clutch / clutch-springs and all interchangeable seals.
You need very good tools, never try to tinker with bad tools from the
supermarket !
And provide a repair-guidance because the little tips could be very helpful.
Work clean !!!!
I hope I could help you a little bit !
Nice day !

Hey,
as Andres Berge asked in his mail, I also like to know, if I have to
take an
engine overhauling in consideration.
I bought my @ RD07 in June this year with 34.000km. I drove since
then about
10.000 so that I´m now at about 44.000km. When buying I first drove
to a
dealer for a complete service. They did something like the 36.000
inspection.
At the end of next year I will travel with my @ to africa and I got
already
some informations by some experts concerning travelling information.
But I´m
not sure, if I have to check especially the engine. I do not mean
that I
have to check the engine more carefully as usual. But shall I take
the
engine out and open it ? It works fine at the moment. But during
winter time
I would have time to do such an complete inspection.
What would you do ?
