2005 CR250 replated cylinder question

I think youre getting bullshitted. Millennium technologies can definitely fix that. Since youre in austrailia, it might be cheaper to buy a new one than sending it to the states.

Ive had worse cylinders than that come back perfectly new from millennium. That company that told you that its unfixable is a pos.

I've emailed millennium to see what they reckon about it, I would buy a new cylinder in a heart beat but it seems like they're totally back ordered out, seems like they mighten even exist anymore as a spare.

If you go with millennium, choose the swap method to lower the turnaround time. I think youre looking at 4 weeks just for shipping

Ask the original place what kind of warranty they have on their plating since they say it's fine.

I have run worse and had no problems. YMMV.

They say 6 months warrantee, but I plan on using the bike for fmx so having something not quite right isnt sitting too well with me.

Like Acidreamer said, MT can fix just about anything. I also have sent cylinders in with way worse damage than yours and had it come back from them looking literally brand new. Not sure if it is a realistic option where you are in AUS but if you have the time and money to do it, they will surely get you fixed right.
