ring-job on 2008 cbr150

[papa al]

My +30Kkm. ceeber was smoking a bit,

and especially @ ‘fast’ highway riding...130+/-.

So took her in this AM for top job.

Cost of service:

910baht, Piston, rings, pin, \\ bore + 1/2 mm.,& hone.

320baht, 2-gaskets, coolant, solvent.

500baht, labor... apart and back together.

=1,730baht Total shop fees.

I brought in my own liter of Castrol 10w30.

170baht

$53 = grand total.

Not too bad.

I think I’ll go break her in.

30,000km seems very early to be doing piston work on a cbr 150, or any non racing bike for that matter. Hope this one lasts you longer. Good price though.

Not not really if it has been reved a lot.

Goes for most 1 cyl engines, I recall a post about a pcx that also needed new rings very early due to riding a lot at full whack.

Yes.

before I acquired the bike 2 years ago at 5Kkm.,

it was operated only 3 months per year and parked in cottage 9 months,

and not ridden over 60/70 max,

so maybe some rust in there.

Had the bike @ the shop as they rolled up the doors at 0830.

They looked like they might have been out nite before.

I went out for coffee.

Meanwhile coffee cart showed up at shop and the guys were

having a nosh.

Disassembled.

Lunch

Machinework & re-assembly.

Started to ride at 2PM.

Have been doing run-in: alternating accelerating and engine braking,

1. 10 min. at idle; cool & check.

2. 10 min easy riding home revving to 6000rpm max. Lunch.

2. 15 min ride, revving 7---> 8000rpm. New rear tire/cooling.

4. 15 min revving up to 9500. Red-line is 1150rpm.

plan: 2mor,

5. 15 min to 10,000.; oil change.

6. 15 min to 10,500. Cool.

7. 15 running up to red-line, 1150rpm.

That's it.

O/C @ 1000km.
