Anybody now about these kits? There is a used bike for sale near me. 1997 Yamaha YZ250 with the Noleen/Ohlins 360 Kit installed. Bike looks good for the age (in photos) and the guy wants $1800. Pipe has a few dings in it.

The kit came with: cylinder, head, crank, piston & rings, rod, bigger reed cage, jet kit and pipe.

Did some quick research and Noleen still has the piston kit available. However, it looks like the pipes and stampings are no longer available. Wouldn't know where to go for anything else needed for the kit parts either.

Any info. would be helpful.

Pretty desireable kit, would fetch a good price by itself on Evilbay.

Friend of mine had one. Rode it a few times back to back against my stocker. AWESOME! Buy it! If the pipe is an issue, I'm sure someone could copy it and make you a new one, but it would have to be destroyed before it's useless. If you don't want it, tell me where it is and I'll drive down and buy it!

By all means give it a hard look. The 360 kitted YZ250 was the best engine ever built for a Yamaha.

I am in the processes of piecing together an Ohlins 360cc kit that I sourced new from the Netherlands a few years ago. It has been a long process and 100% of the parts came from ebay or trademe auctions. (I would hate to total the bill) Will post some photos of the build up as it all comes together. I had the crak balanced and am fitting the whole engine into a YZf450 frame with a retro yellow plastic kit and a Josh coppins Monster energy black look circa 2008.
Jerker. Did you get a Noleens pipe of the states? Would be keen to ebay one of you if you were successful.

hello

yes and no? I found a noleen related to my 96-97 yz 250 but not to my 360cc unfortunately.

but is there anyone who has a noleen ore a schletchen pipe and can make templates or measuring the pipes. Then I would be able to fix all the dimensions and radii, then anyone can make paper templates and weld their own noleen copy of the pipe ..

BUY IT!

If you guys had ANY idea about the stuff Newmann builds and what he can fetch for it (At times)...well, you'd learn to pay attention when he posts something like this.

I'm jus' knowin'...

Those "at times" don't come around often! You didn't happen to have seen something in particular somewhere out there did you?
