How much does it cost to rebuild a 4-stroke dirt bike engine and do I need to do it?

After doing a full engine rebuild after 170 hours on my KTM 450 EXC-F, I can tell you what you need and don't need in terms of parts and tools. Instead of going out buying expensive micrometers and bore gauges, I can say for sure that a casual rider will have no piston or cylinder trouble for at least 200 hours on this bike!

See the Google Sheet for a list of tools and parts required, their part numbers, and cost from online European KTM dealers:
