    My 2010 450 Husaberg has 220hrs on it and its a little bit smokey when cold, other than that it runs like a champion, no rattles or knocks. I am in the process of getting quotes for top end rebuilds. Some shops just quote me a figure and some want to discuss replacing valves and springs and reco-ing the head etc.

    Obviously the extent of wear cannot be discovered until the engine is pulled apart.

    The valves are very expensive and can only be purchased as a genuine KTM part. :(

    I am wondering what Tekniks take is on this?

    Well, it depends on how you look at it.

    220 hours is how much work? If it was a road bike with an average speed of 65km/h it’s 14300km. as it’s an offroad bike i’d say your average is more like 35km/h so 7700km ish.

    You can either just replace the parts that are out of specification and/or showing signs of wear OR take the approach that 220 hours is enough for Valves/springs/crank/main bearings (every bearing really) and set about replacing parts that look serviceable but have done enough hours.
    You won’t get a factory service schedule at 220 hours so you have to make a bit of it up. Every manufacturer will tell you to replace the rod at 100 hours.
    The sand cast cases are very durable so you won’t have case problems but i’d think the bore would be near worn out.

    If you only wanted to do the top end then you shopping list will be
    piston kit
    cam bearings
    cam chain
    check bore, might need plating.
    Valves, springs seals.

    If you just wanted to throw a piston in it id do it BUT id make you sign the job card that you knew the risks if there were any parts that i did not think we should refit as i would give you no warranty on anything i did not replace like valves,cam chain etc.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I’m just waiting on a quote from another engine builder and then I’ll give you a call to discuss further.

    It’s lcs bike so it would not have done too much hard work. A lot of fire trails and the odd overgrown twin trail maybe. :woohoo:

    How can you give a quote on something you don’t know?
    I don’t give quotes, I talk to people about what they could be looking at, I’ll give an estimate of time and parts cost but that’s it I’m afraid.

    Once it’s apart and we all know what we are looking at i’ll give a quote. If you don’t like it i’ll do my best to get the price to what you like.

    If we can’t reach an agreement you pay me for the strip and take your job away.

    Give me a fixed problem and I’ll give you a fixed price. At 220 hours it’s unknown.
