Time to get my 1981 YZ 250 cylinder re-sleeved. Who do you guys suggest? All I am seeing going searches is LA Sleeve.

Does Millennium Technologies resleeve? As good as their work is on replating I'm sure they would do a good job on that as well. Worth a call.

Even better, have them plate it instead of a sleeve. Call Eric Gorr about getting that done, maybe even have him port the YZ too (he works with Millennium Tech). (920) 400-1112

That cylinder is a boreable cast iron sleeve from the factory.

Does that mean it can't be plated? Here's the link to Eric's info-


From: http://www.goforwardmotion.com/vintage.php

CYLINDER PLATING (iron cylinders) $225

This service is especially great for vintage cylinders with cast iron sleeved bores and CR500s. It is designed to preserve the bore at a particular size. Nickel-composite coating that is very hard and longwearing and comes with a 1-year warranty.

Hmmmmm....not sure. If the bore isn't damaged I guess it would work. Doesn't say if he can build up a worn surface.

I planned on letting Eric be the one to whip that moot into life, so I sent him an email and asked what his suggestions were on the whole motor.

I've found that calling him usually results in far more information than email, YMMV.
