Sanity check before potentially replacing rings on a race bike
I am about to acquire a 2017 Ninja 300 race bike. The owner has indicated it will need new rings as it started to smoke.
From what I know so far it has the Spears racing thinner head gasket and some undercut gears. Not sure what other goodies it has.
I have swapped crankcases on a newgen 250 before so I am not totally new to working on these motors.
My question is making sure I am going about this correctly.
1) Compression check to verify it is indeed rings, start dry test then wet test if number is low.
2) replace rings.
Is there anything else I could be missing? Any other suggestions of things to do/check before/after? Thanks!
