Gorgeous bike, starving artist Bike is too cheap

All the money and countless hours of work. Not to mention the original cost of the bike. Only ridden 15 miles and now you want to sell it!!! I give up tying to figure out why.

Well I‘m glad to report that although these clips do their best to escape captivity, my shear determination ultimately prevailed. Would you believe that this clip was so determined to get away that it leaped more than 20 feet over a car and then tried to hide under some equipment. Rest assured...

Does anyone know where I can get the C clip that holds the spring and rubber gasket assembly on the inside of the fuel cap. Or the part number for the clip. Thanks

Needed room in the garage during winter and bike is back in High Point, NC but I can bring it back if someone is serious about buying bike. Can also arrange delivery if you are located between NC and MD

Hi, Yes still for sale.

If the other recommendation doesn't work out, let me know. I have a general machine shop and I'm setting up fixtures to bore cylinders. I have about 60 of my own to bore. I'm still a few weeks out from setting up.

Actually, the factory Yamaha 2-stroke GP bikes had single ring chrome plated cylinders and no sleeve. ...I know because I have one and raced it a longggg time ago! TA250

650 Only

Ya, heat to 250 Degrees is what I remember

I only have a couple XS cylinders but I was looking at the sleeve to cylinder block fit a few years back on a Honda CB350. I have to go see if I can find it. I cut one side up but I think the other side is intact. Maybe I will bore it and then remove the sleeve and see what happens.

We would heat the cylinder up in an oven and the liner would just push out. The 2-stroke dirt bikes were always wiping out cylinders and replacing a liner was common. (going back to bikes pre water cooling)

Yes, I actually gave that some thought.

Lots of good comments about finding true bore centers and parallelism of the cylinder block. Nice ideas and remember that if you spend the time to do those checks what do you do if, things are a little off from the factory? If you try to correct a worn cylinder to blueprint specifications, you...

I agree, may be more a hobby than a money maker. Probably OK if customer was close and didn’t have to ship cylinders. Just the amount of time to box and ship back to customer would make it more expensive without providing any benefit to the customer.

Inspection before boring, just like what is done on car engines to see if there was any core shift during casting

I have 10 or 12 of my own cylinders I have to do and none are single cylinder. At this time I’m trying to gather information to determine if it is worth offering this service to others or just do my own. MC cylinders are east to ship. Machines, 4-Axis CNC Vertical Machining Center, can locate...

I have a 4-Axis CNC Vertical Machining Center. I can probe cylinder centers and program single or multi-cylinder centers. This would be an improvement over typical MC boring machines that require moving and centering each cylinder. I also have a CNC bed mill that I don’t use that much. The bed...

Hi Everyone, I own a small machine shop that produces prototypes for products. My machines are also suited for boring cylinders. I have several of my own cylinders that I plane to bore in the coming weeks. A few people have suggested that I offer boring and honing as a service; however, I’m not...
