Hey guy's looking for some help. I got a good deal on a 2001 yz85 for my son and tore into it last night. It had zero compression so I removed top end. Upon this I found the piston had burned a hole through right above and below ring. This caused some damage to the cylinder. Can you help me with some info and options?

Get a factory Yamaha service manual, site sponsor Service Honda can help with this and parts for you blue bike as they are Service Powersports.

Need to get the cylinder bored? Eric Gorr. He IS the man and if you spend a little quality time answering honestly his questions you will have a great final product.

How do I get in touch with Eric? Can I send him the cylinder?

email or phone him early in the morning, since he does his own work he doesn't answer every call the moment it comes in.
