So I bought a 2005 Roketa DB-27a the other day, top end already removed.

I'm going to buy a full gasket set, piston rings, and valve assemblies. Is there anything else I need to look for while its disassembled?

The only reason I'm buying the valve assemblies is when I got it, one of the valve springs were missing. I can't find anywhere to buy just the springs, so I'm just buying the whole set.

Everything else looks really good, the bore looks good(haven't had a chance to measure it yet), still can clearly see the cross-hatch on it. Piston looks good, timing chain looks good, as does cam. Of course, I'll check measurements to know for sure.

Other than that, the body looks good, suspension is good. Haven't checked to make sure but I believe the previous owner removed the switch for the electric start, which doesn't really bother me.

Any good resources for these bikes? Good places here in the states to buy parts?

EDIT: What bikes are parts interchangable for this one? I've heard XR200R's are the same?
