Removing the head and jug question

[Bowtie]

I have to remove the head and jug from my 06 YFZ because it is leaking oil between the jug and the case. Can I do it with it with everything still in the bike, or do I have to remove it? Has anyone done it before?

You can do it in the bike.

You can do it in the bike.

Ditto!!!

Rudy, what would you guys charge to do this if I brought you the bike, the gaskets and shim kit and how long would it take?

$199.99 For the labor

$20-30.00 More if you want us to throw in some fresh oil, oil filter, and spark plug.

We would only need it for 2 or 3 days.

I am still trying to decide if I want to do this on my own or pay for it. I have all the parts and tools and a shop manual to follow and I am sure I am capable of it, but if something is wrong or goes wrong I lack the experience to know better.

If you have some hours on your top end that would be a good time to throw a fresh set of rings at it too.

That's just it, I have no clue how many hours are on it. I got the quad in early December and I have maybe 4 - 6 hours on it. I am going to start the tear down tomorrow afternoon, so by tomorrow night I will have a full idea of what has been done to the motor and what kind of shape it is in.

So last night I was up until 1 am getting it all tore down. Got started on it again around 2 this afternoon and after a few breaks, I got it fired back up at 11 tonight. I am going to ride around the hood tomorrow and let it get good and warmed up and see how it does.

Didn't run into anything out of the ordinary huh?
