Damaged Cylinder - Repair or Replace

[jeffd]

All:

I had a circlip fail and a piece broke off and managed to scar the cylinder bore on my 98 YZ 125. What is the best approach to getting this repaired?

Replace cylinder?
Strip/Weld/Re-plate it?
Sleeve it?

I need help ASAP!

Thanks,

First find out how deep it is.

It looks like the looser of a knife-fight.

Long, ugly, and deep!

I found a shop that will get me a new one for ~225 beans. Sold!

Sounds like a good canidate for a 144 kit! j/k. $225 for a new cylinder is pretty good I would rather have a new cylinder then pay almost the same amount for replating, welding, or sleeving a cylinder.

I found a better deal.

New cylinder for $215.50
Core credit for my old cylinder $25.00

Grand total for new cylinder = $190.50

I am ordering it today!

jeff,
You may try these guys, www.parkeryamaha.com

Eric Gorr will give you $50 for the cylinder I believe or use that as credit for him porting that new cylinder. :)

Good Luck,
Scott

Jeff, have Eric do the 133 to the damaged jug, Swap it in on the next top end job and you will never use the 124cc jug again.

:aj: Even better! :)

I probably neglected to mention that I do not want to pour any more cash into this bike than I need to. I plan on selling it and getting a brand new one soon.

The 133 kit sounds nice, but it is also considerably more $$$$ than the replacement cylinder.

Jeff,
Don't you like all the help spending your $$$? :) Sorry man.

[jeffd]

LOL! It is always easy to spend someone else's money.
Scott - don't you think that your '01 KX needs to be replaced with an '02? ;)
