yup light dosent always mean strong, and I have an xr600r, with that kind of weight I would never put excels on it. The xl and xr's are tanks! you could put a solid steel wheel on it and not notice a difference :lol: but seriously I have did gold rims on mine off'n a 70's xr500. there isnt that much...

got my new (long rod) crank in today, it is beautiful. brand new pro series rod polished and trued. cant wait to put it in. still lokin for a cylinder cheap though, no luck yet.

hopefully this will prevent someone else from losing money on the wrong parts. awesome job!

i tell you what, my ex was from tenessee right up in the smoky mountains, hillbilly to the teeth ot lack thereof, but i sampled some homemade corn whisky that would eat paint off a car, it wasnt that hard to drink though really. ive had harsher store bought whisky. but i think it would make a killer...

to the person who bought this bike: If you ever need any parts for this, I have one sittin in my back yard. hit me up if you are in need.

i could do payments like 150 a month but that would take like 18 months to pay off, lol but i bet youve already heard that a few times

dude, i cant believe it hasnt sold yet. and you live in billings! surely theres a hillclimber out there that would swoop it up quick. if i had the loot i would pounce on it.

I need a new jug well not new but used with 90.mm bore or lower.
will trade rifle or bosch power box worksite cd/radio/charger new in box.
or combination of one of those with a new teraflex type 1 knobby. or cash
help a hoon out!

what year crank are you looking for, if its a 86 i have a fresh one, if not your gonna pay, i just got one off ebay for 178.00 but there are a few on there

no it looks really good, i had to say something cause my buddy did it to his too and we ripped on him alot. it reminds me of my old yz465 back in the day. good job and whoever gets it will be getting a sweet bike

it looks tuff, but it is crying on the inside.

this is a hillclimber so lighter might work well for me . ok as soon as it arrives its goin in. now to search for a cheap cyl. thats under 90mm mine is at a loose 91mm

yeah, the cases arent my worry its the fact that i already did it a few weeks ago now i gotta get new gaskets and all that assembly time. this has a new pro x rod in it so i just hope it will last a few bores before i gotta do it again. i paid 178.00 shipped so i dont think its too bad. i just hope ...

ok (danny/bob) so just to be sure now, a 91 crank+rod WILL work in my 88 motor?
because i just bought one. and i still have the 86 short one for sale cheap if anyone needs it. banned500 forum guys get first dibs

yes it seems i detuned my motor making like a cr400
no damn good p.m. sent graves
lesson learned:measure measure measure!
huh huh yeah, he said "rod" huh huh

i know i can do it, thats what kills me is i just got done doing it, practice makes perfect though. thanks for your help guys. but im serious about selling the complete crank to fund my other one being rebuilt. it has low hours and is very tight

ok i understand now, my deck is too high. so damn, anyone want to buy a good short crank? ill just rebuild the original crank and measure twice next time. and not be in such a hurry

well i just pais freakin 300 to have this crank put in and now its worthless?!!!! cant i get a jug that is made for it?what year jug do i need to look for as another new crank is not an option! i just put this one in! help me please figure this out. what can i do to fix this without changing the rod...

the last piston fit fine so what year piston do i need?

ok splain this to me lucy,,,i pulled the head and the cyl and rings look fine however when at top dead center it is a hair over a quater inch from the top of the cyl. amost a pinky finger from the top! wtf did i get the wrong piston? its like i put a spacer plate under the jug. but there isnt

nevermind the previous post thats getting a little critical, i just want a runner.

also i was under the assumption that a resleeved cyl , is better than a new one. its like using a seasoned block on a 350 or 383. a new engine has to flex expand and contract many places until it is seasoned, where a seasoned block will not move as it has been set. dosent it stand to reason that a 5...

Isnt this train of thought what got you in this position?

you think that having glen or loomis sleeve and set it up for me is worse than bolting on a mass produced new one?

yeah, i saw those jugs thats why i was leaning that direction. 337. for a new jug sounds like sleeving is cheaper. if i can get it done for around 200.00 is that what glen charges or was that someone else, cause after this fiasco i dont wanna trust it to anyone else.

does anyone know what the average cost of having a cyl. resleeved is?
and once it is resleeved can i just hone it and throw in a stock size piston or does it need to be bored to size first?
