After 51 thousand smiles I've worn out the engine of my beloved black 06 Uly.  So over the coming weeks, when I get the chance, I will be breaking her down and giving the forum members the chance before e bay. Albert,Ast,Asv etc,will put a list in For Sale. |

Willy, you're an opportunist bastard  You could have at least started with a bit of sympathy. Can't you tell the man is grieving?  Sorry about that, Mo.Steve |

Yeah!  I've been waiting for someone on here to rebuild an XB motor, or modifyone as a bigger 'rat' motor. I met a local chap with an XB 1410 or 1440cc job, but he won't post yet to tell us what was done!  .........but if you really must break it, I'd still buy a piece or two!

Sorry to hear that. Tough when there's nothing else quite like it out there. I'm going to ask a stupid question. How do you know an engine is 'worn out'? Hoping to run mine for as long as it lasts (approaching 20K now). |

Erm, I did that earlier this year, full strip, check rebuild and a bit of porting thrown in for good measure!  Might be after a few bits myself come to think of it - if there's anything left after Willie's been round your gaff...

How come it only did 51K? Very early to be worn out, isn't it? It's not a KTM!!

I'm running in a new Tiger Sport at the moment,which after test riding is proving to be more than a match for the Uly.So the strip down will be a few weeks off. |
