TexBanshee Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 I live in the Dallas area and was wondering if anyone knows of a reliable shop to get a new crankshaft and pistons installed. I have it at the yamaha dealership right now and they don't seem to know enough about what it takes to upgrade the crankshaft and what the cyclinders need to be bored out to. Any help or ideas what be great. Thanks Quote

bansheejoel Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Doi it yourself and what you save from labor get some aftermarket goodies. But for real man, dont waste the money on having someone rebuild it and throw in a crank. Boring a shop will have to do ofcource but other than that clean up a table and label everything as you take it apart and have at it......oh buy a cheap clymer manual from the dealership and tell them to suck it :ohmy: Quote
TexBanshee Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 The shop already took it apart so I haven't seen how many pieces its in. Is it feasible for me to pick up all the parts and it put it back together without seeing how it came apart? What should bore my cylinders out to? Quote

What should bore my cylinders out to? yup, the clymers shows you every single step. tells you the torque specs and everything Quote

Is it feasible for me to pick up all the parts and it put it back together without seeing how it came apart? What should bore my cylinders out to? Yes, it is feasible. Granted, it is easier for some to see it come apart to aid in assembly, but it is not that complicated. You should only bore the cylinders as much as necessary to keep the tolerances within limits. If the tolerances are getting close to the service limit, you may want to consider doing it now while everything is disassembled... :cool: Quote

The problem with that is that they may have already lost some parts or something along those lines and you would be screwed that way. But then again buying the parts they lost, the parts you need, a clymers manual and putting it back together yourself, would still be alot cheaper than what they'r going to be. And more than likely you would have it back together quicker. Charging you by the hour to sit around and think about how and what to do next. Quote
