Nice job, bet that's fun to ride

Agree with @imago, sort fuelling out and start from there! Are you running pods or standard airbox?

Sounds like you need to interrogate the bike shop as to why they think rings are the issue. Compression test and leakdown test figures would be a start ?
Before you start handing any money over !
Agree!!
Any good shop would at least of done a compression test and good shops are happy for you to ask questions, so if they start trying to fob you off you know they haven't got a clue sadly

Gsx1100 and gs 850 work
Will check the lock up later in the week, might have one you can have

So it was 3 things
Plug cap gone bad one of the wires from the pick up had a nic in it and was occasionally arcing out and I've got a bad carb!! Blocked somewhere, but can't find it at the moment
-
Yes sparking, new plugs and changed in case it was faulty stripped carbs they are clean
-
So my 1150 is running on 3 pots 4 cold as ice did initially think it was a cap as it was arcing out like Blackpool illuminations, cap changed,no difference coil changed same result,Coils swapped over still pot 4 and cap still arcing
I'm now leaning towards the pickup being the issue but i thought i might harvest some knowledge from the forum just in case i can't see for looking
bike running standard coils and pickup
many thanks in advance

This ones abit more entertaining
My favourite bit is when the bloke in front slams on brake and stands it up mid corner

As I tried to explain to a bloke on a shireblade if you do 100 on that the engine is hardly working and neither are you, do a 100 on an old suzie or brit, you can hear and feel the speed
you can also hear all the nuts and bolts you didn't thread lock rattling themselves loose -

If you have access to a set of carbs that you know are good stick them on just to get it running, that way you can can rule out anything else, like timing!!!

Any recommendations for reboring?
Sorry for the hijack
I highly recommend Saunders motor works in Cadnam, near Southampton, proper shop, have done, car, bike and tractor blocks for me over the years, though might be a bit far for you @baldrick

Any good machine shop will only do the bore when they have the actual pistons at hand, so each bore and piston are matched, due to manufacturing discrepancies

Glad you are up on your feet
You are were lucky by the looks of the pictures
Hope you you recover soon

Had same issue with gs 1000 with pod filters, mine was to much direct air flow through the pods, used plastic cone inside each pod to cover 3 fifths of surface area on 1 and 4 little less on 2 and 3!!
Took a little bit of trial and error, but ran great for 3 years after that!!
But the great thing about this forum is there will be countless other ways people have achieved the same result, just got to find the one that works for you

Had same problem with gsx 1100 f many years ago, changed pick up as a last throw of the dice and it sorted it, so hope it does the same for you!
Much too nice to be broken up
Mind you, i am still convinced all these years later it was an earthing issue,
God i hated that bike, even more than my ts 50

I have always soaked pistons in gas oil (red diesel), works well
But if you have oil drum style barbecue, you can try the heat and cool route as suggested by @joseph
Good luck

Can I have fries with that

Sounds like your bike hates yamaha parts
Seriously though as already said, if you can raise or drop the forks through the yokes you should find the point it stops folding in
