What's everyones opinion on this? I got a quote today of $1300 for a new cyclinder that has to come from Japan - Bugger that!!!!!

I got a quote from Antrum in queensland and it's $340 NZD to get it replated and it's about the same to get it sleeved. The bike runs ok at the moment but there is a few scores that concern me.

What do you guys think?

Replate mate :yes:


What he said :yes: although the resleeve has the advantage that it can be rebored if you root it again

Well seen its already stuffed....

Leave it till it goes bang.

Is it a race bike?

My RM x 250 Has half the Nicacil missing on the exhaust side.

It still runs well and makes good power even for its age and condition!!

This guy is from the states I believe. I'll send it to him. If it fucks out I can always sleeve it.

I think I will leave it till it goes bang. Then I'll do the conrod at the same time.
