Thanks all, this all sounds like way more work than I was anticipating.

I thought the process was:

1. Buy new cylinder, piston, rings, etc. from scooter shop.

2. Install cylinder parts, decarbon old head, make sure gasket surfaces are in good shape.

3. Put everything back together.

4. Break in engine.


Howcome nobody ever mentions doing this honing/porting stuff when talking about BBK installs?

Anyway, I will probably just sell it, not too fond of the scooter from the start anyway. I just bought it because it was cheap, and figured it would be easy to work on like other scooters I have owned, but due to the design of the welded in underseat storage compartment, it is a PITA to work on the engine.

Going to start looking for something with better aftermarket parts support, like a Zuma, or maybe another chinese scoot. Finding parts for this Morini motored Hyosung is not fun!

Thanks for the offer Buford, but I'm on the West coast in Canada.
