valve stem seals..xtz660
ok..im now in greece on route to athens,my old faithfull xtz660, 53000kms ,is still pulling like a school boy,but it is chewing through the oil at about 1 litre every 1000kms.
fredxtz sugested that i ride the bike a bit harder at around 4500rpms(which seemed to defy logic in oil consumption) but it has for a short time cured the problem of my bike eating oil.(to some degree)
im going to get the bike compression tested first, and if that is fine i will have the valve seals replaced as im sure this is where the problems lie...
i was thinking i should also do the cam chain while ive got the motor open...is there ANYTHING else i should look into while im putting my bike in to get fixed.
any advice welcome, im putting the bike in to a mechanic in about four days time...
thanks again phil...anyone know a good mechanic in athens....
