Don’t they have the best contingency programs?
You don’t have to like them, but to hate a company that tried to do something new and innovative and actually did it well is ridiculous. It’s a shame they went out of business the way they did and only hurts the sport. Wish Honda or someone bought them ... more »
The building had been sinking for a long time, a cm a year or something like that. That with age right next to a salt water ocean will really damage any structure, especially if not corrected properly or in time. 40 years is a long time for a subpar ... more »
He can’t get into the US in the first place, at least legally.
Can’t help with a recommendation, but you should be able to find a machine shop with one and ask if they would mind checking the cylinder with you. Ask what their favorite beer is and bring a 30 rack.
Damn that is a nice view!

Post a pic of your electrical panel and labels. Generator size is dependent on your appliances and heating, and optionally cooling if you want to run AC in summer black outs. I am an electrician and can point you in the right direction/set up.
Have it welded, then grind it down. Only thing you can do 🤷🏼♂️

One in the bazaar for a nice $12k. Such nice bikes but so damn expensive, whether it’s an AF or steelie. Engines alone are always over $4k and no one makes them anymore.
Love the build! Bike looks great! Did you buy new OEM cover or have to prep them before cerokote aside from cleaning? I bought an 04 about a month ago and plan on going through it and cleaning it up this winter. Suspension seals leak from old age and ... more »
Seems like the engines alone go for a few grand. I see AFs posted around me for $8k+, and steelies being $5K+. Bike market is crazy right now.
What makes the shifter “works”? May be interested.
Have you tried searching for just the shock body or asking whoever rebuilds KYB how much one is? Should be a part number somewhere you can search.
Have you seen if someone who does KYB susp. Could give you a quote to rebuild it?
Throw an hour meter on, and if you really want to, 2 in the event the first one shits the bed and you’re left without a correct reading.
Yeah I’m in the same boat as you lol. I just bought an 04 RM250 and it’s confusing as hell compared to the YZ I used to own.
