TaKeN:
Thanks for the reply Gowen :)


I rang up the bike man today to see if he had time to fit the bike in to repair it,


He said " It can't be fixed ( Welded up ) you will need to find a new cylinder" , which i'm not happy about :(


Would you guys remove the cylinder from the bike and then take it to a machine shop ?

blackkx:
 if he told you that over the phone without looking at it that it couldnt be fixed i would take it and have it looked at . I dont know anything about the repair measures for your particular problem but its worth a shot . atleast youll know for sure .

Just from what I see, ,it needs to be replaced. The last thing you want to happen is the port fall apart and into the cylinder. So, I feel the machine shop is correct..

Ebay will have a cheap cylinder for it.

TaKeN:
Unfortunately Ebay isn't bringing up any 1992 Cylinders, ive had a quote for ?110 to have a steel sleeve fitted to the cylinder,


Would this work ? Or is it too far gone ?


Once again, thanks for the replys gents. I realy do appreciate the help :)

Check out these two places, I think they can help you out. www.lasleeve.com and www.phatheadracing.com I had a gash in my cylinder wall from loosing a circlip and it was fixed. They bore out the old plating, weld the gash shut and re-bore the cylinder, then send the cylinder out to be replated. My cylinder is back enroute to phathead after it had the 134cc treatment. Contact both those places and if they can't help you then e-bay is your best bet or go here www.bikebandit.com and get a new cylinder.
