canadianrubberburner Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 hello everyone, I have recently disassembled my 2001 sy 250 to fresh'n up the top end, unforturnatly i did not try to purchase parts befor hand. Now i have my bike in a box and im frantically trying to find the parts I need to get my girl running befor the 2013 season starts. I am in need of piston rings and a top gasket. i have checked the ussual places to try and find these parts but have come up short. If anyone has any ideas it will be greatly apreciated! thanks for your time Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducati996 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi,changed the rings in a scorpa 250 05 last yr,i had them from steve goode motorcycles but am sure Nigel Birkett motorcycles will have them in stock,also check the nicosil plating in the barrel as this can wear,Nigel Birkett does an exchange barrel.

kamiture Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 oops forgot to say try and save head gasket they are crazy money something like £70 Oh,,,It's so expensive. We can buy it for about £10 pounds in Japan from yamaha. It may be good business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) The price of TYZ parts brought forth a collective sharp intake of breath from the trials world in the day. For some reason it has stuck in the mind that an exhaust pipe was £360 (quoted at the time because they seemed rather vulnerable) which was about 8% of the cost of the bike. Makes a Titanium pipe seem cheap twenty-odd years later. Edited February 14, 2013 by 2stroke4stroke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
