top end rebuild

[dibbsy88]

Hi quick question from a newbie, does anyone know if you need to split the cases to change rings/pistons. Basically do you top load or bottom load the pistons into the barrels? Oh and it's a tdm900 motor. Thanks

No need to split the cases if your just doing pistons and rings.

Great so it just a matter of pulling the head and barrel off?
By the way thanks for the reply Cobba, since I have joined this forum I have looked at your bike a a source of inspiration for my bike. A real awesome machine.
