The oil consumption of my Tenere becomes annoyingly high (1L/1500km after 105.000km). So I am looking into the possibilities of replacement parts.

I expect that I have to replace the piston, rings and valve stem seals, top and bottom gasket. Yamaha parts cost like 350 euro.

Does anybody have experience with replacing these (maybe on a XT660X or R). Do I need to hone the cylinder before putting in a new

Also looking into the bigger bore of Off-The-Road, 700cc sounds nice , experience somebody? Parts cost approx. the same as Yamaha's but bored out cylinder is an extra 289 euro.
