'84 XT600 high oil usage
Hi Guys,
I need to find out if there is some way of reconditioning the piston rings on my '84 XT600 instead of replacing them. The oil usage on the bike is extremely high (0.5L of oil for every full 28L tank of fuel).
Because I live in SA I cannot find a place locally that stocks the rings and most online shops such as e-bay advertises the required product but the sellers do not deliver to SA.
Thus....can the rings be reconditioned without any heavy engineering work involved?
Please note: I am not a mechanical genius and I am still learning what I can from the clymer manual that I bought for the bike. I have only done minor maintenance on the bike, and have never attempted something as big as opening up the engine or gearbox. Wanna try and sort out the bike....  
Thanks.
