    you would have to measure the bore wear, could be just worn rings and a bore hone or at worse case, a rebore and new pistons/rings. its complicated if you don't know what you are doing. I suggest you get a haynes manual and read it, then you'll know what's involed. It's not an engine out job, just top end, new gaskets required (£20for top end). pistons will be he hardest to source I think +.75mm is the only ones you can get now and a specialist to rebore and hone the engine (who will need the pistons for measurement) I woudn't recommend running the bike like that as you'll blow seals in the crankcase, Get a second opinion off someone who can actually see the bike in person, because I can only go off what you tell me on here.
  4. I think it can be done as the 500 engine is bigger. you will have to make some engine plates and line up the chain to the rear wheel, a lot of work BTW!
  5. have a great Birthday guys, have a glava on me john!

    sounds like the rings are worn and air is being compressed in the crankcase.

  10. get one from yamaha, it fits real good 90506-28100 is the part number
  11. looking good so far mate, nice shiney hub have you waxed it to preserve the shine?
  12. can you not get a hook inside the hole and pull it out? it will wreck the filter so its a bit of a do or die senario. but you'll have to do it sometime. If you can take a picture it will help for more suggestions.

    for a tenner, count me in medium please! don't forget postage on top peeps
  14. didn't realise you had electronic ignition, I think you need to look at the TCI box first. drop speedshop a PM as he can give better advice on these things! BTW those are plugs and would need to be drilled aout and behind there should be screws.
  15. aye but have your looked closly at the tail section?

    oldwankeronabike how's that? Paul, get a quote first for say 15 t-shirts with what you want on there (It looks pretty much there now) and put it to the forum. Peeps will commit more if they know how much.
