Going to do a top end "freshen up" on my 2000 MXZ 700 since I just dumped some money into long tracking it(156 Camo Extreme). I want to make sure it will hold on another season or two before upgrading. Has about 3500 miles and was wondering the following:
1. What should I look for while I have it apart?
2. Do I just need to do the pistons and rings- what else must be replaced while apart?
3. Do I hone the nicasil plated cylinders so the rings get "seated" well? If so, what do I use to not damage the nicasil? Does this need to be done by a shop or can a "do-it-yourselfer" get it?
4. I've seen/heard rumblings that the crank seals often go bad on this motor, any quick and easy way to check that out?
I've had this sled since birth and have done the typical maintenence items. However, I've noticed the power/compression declining for the last couple seasons. Any help you can offer is much appreciated!
