I'm looking for advice as to whether or not my bike is requiring a rebore.It's a 1969 t 100 s.
When started,the bike smokes from the left hand side but gradualy burns everything off.The top end is knocking but the tappets are set correctly.It's difficult for me to say if the bike is losing compression as I've had nothing to compare it with,but I'd say it's not too bad.I'm not sure if new rings would solve the smoke problem,or would it be advisable to go the whole hog ( rebore,new pistons and rings).The cylinder head will be coming off this weekend for re conditioning work,is there anything in paticular that I should look out for that may be part of the problem?
