Thank you again

I think I’d go with a rebuilt vs a brand new for twice the cost. Assuming the $300 core charge means they’ll charge me an $300 until they receive my bad crank?

I appreciate the bad news/reality check! Lol

I see cranks on SBT for around $500 but a bunch of you guys talk a lot of S**t about them so...? lol

Definitely not what I want to hear. What is involved in removing connecting rod? Also around how much would a rebuild cost? I’m in San Diego and found multiple crankshaft shop with a simple google...

This is a big concern for me. Lots of play on connecting rod. What does this mean? Sorry for all the rookie questions. This would be my first potential rebuild. Thanks

It might have. And I did notice that rust on crank. So what does this mean? Is that crank still usable?. I’ll posted latest photos. Got the motor out and it’s sitting on a table now.

Sent you a PM

It doesn’t let me message or reply to post! Can someone possibly PM him to have him msg me somehow?

I couldn't find it. Can you possibly hook a brother up and send me link? =)

Thank you very much. What would you say all this would run me roughly. That way I have an idea in case I want to make an offer. Thanks again

Yeah I’m keeping an eye out on eBay etc. there’s another guy that just posted a WTB for same. Wondering what route he’s going. You’re right they ain’t cheap! ($400-$500). I’m probably going to update...

Where can I find the write up for the OSB carb rebuild ? I might as well do this since I’m pulling motor. I have F/A and I’m pretty sure I lost a cylinder due to lean condition.

I need the same for my 2001 GP. What route did you end up going? Nothing “cheap” out there! Lol

Yes I do know it’s a 4-stroke. Hence why I’m considering it. Yeah it seems the used market is kind of high in general right now. Probably a lot to do with pandemic. I’m going to remain patient. I’d...

Which route should I go as far as replacement parts for bad cylinder and piston (which vendor)?

Exactly the type of advice I’m looking for! Thank you! This would be my first rebuild so I’m a little nervous. I figure I have the whole off season to get it done. Please keep the advice coming!

There’s one listed locally and guy is asked $4,500 without trailer. I can probably talk him down some more. I only have limited experience with 2 stroke yamahas but have always liked the look of the...

I had zero compression on one cylinder. Took motor apart and that one cylinder and piston have damage. My main concern is the crank. How do I know if it sustained any damage?. I’m weighing my options...

Im waiting for a response in this post too lol

Please take photos and post if you do this mod!

I feel like I’m learning all over again. After a long hiatus I had no idea of all the additional maintenance required. Especially on 2strokes. ThAnkful for these forums and thankful for YouTube

I depend on these forums so much it’s not even funny! Definitely frustrating when there no conclusion or resolution!

Thanks for sharing

So what’s the SBT alternative in 2020??

Thank you very much for response. I had never re-greased this part. I guess I have no other option than to replace wear ring, stator, and shaft. I stuck a flash light down the receiving end of the...

I have one of those tools on the way. It’s a Solas Concord. What I can’t fire out is how to get runner piece off with cutting it
