    Hi Guys,
    I am up to 135 hours on my 2013 TXC310R and it is getting a little smoky. I can get through a days riding (5 hours) without a top-up but not two. The engine oil/ filter and air cleaner is serviced regularly and the valve clearances where still original at 100 hours. The bike is not raced and just used for single track trail riding.
    Some questions:
    1. Is this normal for the TXC? 150 hours / top end work?
    2. Are there any aftermarket kits I should consider that are better value/km than the OEM?
    3. Anything I should look at before a rebuild?
    My shop recommends ordering a piston kit, valves seals and gaskets early to avoid the wait.

    It should be good for a solid 200hrs unless you are an A class racer.

    Well I am waiting for a tendon to heal in my arm from surgery (non-motorcycle related). No bikes or kayaks for at least 6 weeks though my surgeon would prefer 3 months.

    In the mean time I have been researching the parts situation for TXC310R piston kits. There seem to be more pistons cheaper and available for the 2012 model which has a different part number to the 2013. Can anybody tell me the difference between the the two years re piston?

    Different valve sizes from memory so piston cut outs be different I guess.

    I'm gonna try to go to most of the enduros. I do better at the rock runs.

    Hi Guys, well I have been able to get 190+ hours before a top end rebuild. The oil usage has remained constant but I am not going to risk it. I have all the parts and probably more than I need.

    I am looking for a reference to doing a top end rebuild for this bike as the workshop manual covers engine removal and complete disassembly which is a bit extreme.

    Any advice guys? References to material and/or real world experience gratefully accepted.
