Should only be about 30-40 bucks from your shop. the tools you'll need to buy will cost more I would think....

[factoryX]

about $500 worth of tools....Take it to the shop as chris said...

honing tool $30,cylinder guage $65,got a high speed drill.just need instructions.theres a atvzone 3 miles down the road but i would rather do it myself.

a honign tool and a borign bar are diferent tools ther ebuddy and if you try to hone it to an oversize youll wear otut the stones before you ever get it and not to menton havign ti perfectly round and square is gonanbe next to impossible.

It's 35 bucks at winners cycle right there off of millerville in baton rouge. 45 if you don't buy the piston from them. It's only 3 bucks or sofor a hone last time I went in there.

yeah i plenty of spare cylinders.

Depends how much bigger you need to go- you at least need a set of T guages's a micrometer and a ridged hone, iv oversize cylinders to the next size no problem, you need at least a varsol tank (honing tank with oil in preferably) and when i mean rigid hone, i mean the real sunnen deal not them crap ass de-glazer things with the springs, or a ball hone, and it takes time and practice to do it, a boring bar is nice, 1-2-3 cuts and a final hone to fit the piston, takes alot of work and money, your better off to send it to a shop.

If this you main bike I would as mentioned above and take to to a shop. Thats where I had my previous RM's done. But If can risk it then I'd say go for it. Be a great skill to aquire.

[leevarnado]

looks like i will be taking the cylinder to atvzone to get the boring done.after i researched it a little more,i now realize how much work it is and how much is involved.thank you all for the info.

A honing tool and a boring bar are altered tools that ebuddy and if you try to hone it to an oversize you'll wear out the stones before you ever get it and not to mention having it perfectly round and square is to be next to impossible.

[leevarnado]

check the date,thread is two years old,lol.

[dcreel]

He brought up 2 others that are 5 and 7 years old. It's funny that they are all about honing and shanefoster has a link for a hone in his signature. He's a spammer.

[aldochina]

aside from the fact he repeated word for word what brapp already said in the thread!

[dcreel]

Didn't notice that.. :banned: Too bad all of the mods are in the dunes.. :lol:
