When I got the bike 1 year ago the engine had just been rebuilt because of worn 5th gear I dont know why they never changed the worn gear lever shaft. I also dont know if it was rebored.
I was thinking of giving my engine to a mechanic and asking for a strip and rebuild replacing the clutch and gear change shaft, check the cylinder for wear replace valve seals.
I dont know if the cam chain has been changed is it possible to tell if its worn by looking at it.
Is there any thing else that I should change while engine is stripped
I am going to contact slipstream tuning about this work , has any one had dealings with them.
I know the XT is a basic engine but I want an experinced mechanic who knows these engines inside out.

Best way to get to know your engine is to do it yourself. There's nothing too complicated about a XT600 engine!!! A good manual and a half decent tool kit is essential though.
I have a bottom end that I'm breaking if you need any bits - let me know via PM.
