TKRJ pistons/ rings/ conrods on sale

[TonyB]

Greetings. I thought the bucket forum would be the best place to put this, since I sell a fair amount of stuff to bucket racers (ta). If its moved, well and good.

Due to my impressive marketing skills, few of you are actually aware that I even sell TKRJ pistons. Those of you that are aware are probably only know due to the efforts of Dangerous, (thanks man).

It has come to my attention that even fewer people are aware of the situation that exists now, hence this thread thingy.

In a nutshell, for various reasons that I won't go into, I am no longer importing TKRJ pistons, or any other pistons for that matter. I am, in fact, winding the whole business down and will eventually close it. The website www.motoequip.co.nz will soon close, and the email you have gotten used to using will no longer exist, (please PM me for the new one).

BUT, all is not lost.....yet.

I still have a fair amount of stock, and will continue selling it for till its gone. I am holding my pricing steady for the time being- I will be selling it at a price that reflects the prices I paid for it, back when the Kiwi $ was high and the yen was low. With the current state of things, if I was to import this stuff now, the retail price would be MUCH higher, therefore I am not planning on having a 'closing down sale'. That said, racers, I will still look after you;)

I will be attempting to list everything I have on Trademe and on Bren-chch's site www.motorbikeparts.co.nz. No promises though, its going to be quite a big job!

Please note that I won't be holding stock for anyone, if you want it, buy it. If you want it in two weeks time and someone else comes along with the cash, its sold to them. Sorry if thats harsh but I need to get rid of this stuff. I also will not seperate kits for anyone- I did this a couple of times and as a result still have a couple of useless kits lying around. If the bike in question is a twin, I will not sell just one piston or rod kit- that said, I have a couple of lonely pistons/rods who's mate I sold thinking I would order more.

So there you go. These kits are made in Japan and are good quality. They have been race tested and proven, and if I'm not mistaken, they are sustantially cheaper than anything else thats out there.

PDF's of stock and pricing as at 17/04/09 attached.

oh yeah. I also have one last 1 piece suit which I'm selling off at $450 (thats less than it cost me direct from the factory), would suit a small to medium guy.

Cheers
TonyB

Bugger. that's a pity.
It is a bit. I do regret not giving it a better shot.

[Racey Rider]

That's a bugger.

I've had a good run with the TKRJ piston in the GP100, thrashed it for a season and a half and it still looks like new.

[Skunk]

The TKRJ piston I put in the AX1R some 3 years ago was pitted badly by a poor tuning effort. It's saviour was the alloy coming off shorted the spark plug.

Anyway. The piston is still in use. And in reasonable condition. Bloody good stuff IMHO.

same here, I ran a TKRJ piston of Tony's in a highly stressed MB100 for two seasons, removed it and it shows no signs of wear, I then replaced it with another TonyB suplyed TKJR and its still going strong.
I also run Tony's TKJR pistons in a 250LC and 350 LC along with I 'think' a rod kit in the 350.
I believe the ring kits are made by the same suplyer as all the Jap companys get thers from.

Highly rated parts, parts however that I will only buy from Tony and no other NZ suplyer.

PS: Tony, will Toren grow into ya remaining 0ne piece?

[TonyB]

Thanks guys.

Yes people have commented that for some models the TKRJ rings are indentical to the OEM supplied ones, right down to the markings on the rings. Yamaha RD350LC and RZ350 are two that come to mind. When I quizzed TKRJ, they said that even in Japan there are only a very small number of ring manufacturers.

[TonyB]

Hi again. I've made a few sales over the weekend, so the stock lists in the original post have been updated.

[F5 Dave]

Hey good luck clearing the stock & thanks for past rods.

Buy this stuff while you can guys.:yes:

[Skunk]

I'm trying but I see expenses. They're everywhere.

do you have a couple of cb125t piston kits still?

[xwhatsit]

Now who's buying all the CB250RS gear I wonder.

[dangerous]

think I got the last 1mm oversize, which gives you 130cc... Im sure he has std's tho

[TonyB]

Now who's buying all the CB250RS gear I wonder.There was a freaky little run on that stuff not long after my last order- sold the whole lot (and there was quite a few) in the space of 2 weeks. Its quite random how it all works out- sell nothing for ages, then theres a big rush. Weird.

Update; I have updated the pdf attachments in the first post to reflect current stock levels.
I have also heavily discounted all remaining stock.
Please take a look.

[TonyB]

MotoEquip Ltd, (the smal business a few years back), is closing down and I am specialling off all my remaining stock. I still have quite a few TKRJ piston kits, ring sets, and conrod kits, as well as quite a few small end bearings. I even have four sample crank kits for Stihl chainsaws....

Please don't be put off by the low prices, these are quality parts which are made in Japan- things just get very cheap when you buy in bulk from the manufacturer! I am hoping that the prices are now low enough that people will consider buying parts for their bikes just in case they need them in the future.

If you click on the link below it will take you to a thread in the Buckets section- the lists can be found as attachments in the first post

Hi Tony,

Are they the discounted prices listed in the PDFs?

[TonyB]

Hi Tony,

Are they the discounted prices listed in the PDFs?
Yes they are. 25% to 50% off what were already very low prices. Discount depends on how likely I am to sell it. I wont be lowering these prices, as I de-registered MotoEquip for GST, so had to pay out GST on all my stock based on these prices.

This strategy seems to be working, as I have people buying in bulk just in case they need them in the future. One KB member even turned up with his piggy bank:clap:

I'll update the lists again shortly

[TonyB]

Just updated the stock in the lists (link- first post)

People are buying in bulk- my cunning plan is working:cool:

[Slingshot]

Agreed, they were already very sharp prices...just trying to convince the better half that I need to buy a piston to replace a piston that would still be working nicely if the motor wasn't in a number of pieces on my workbench :)

Just updated the stock list again- go back to first post.
