Yamaha / Re: YZ 400C piston

Thanks for the responses and the offer of standard rings Matt, but as its on standard bore I will keep my eye out for a first os piston kit to freshen it up while it's apart.
Cheers Terry.

Thanks, does that mean it's on standard bore ? The Clymer manual lists 400 models as 82mm which through me .

Yamaha / YZ 400C piston

« on: January 20, 2017, 06:15:13 pm »

Not much experience with YZ,s just pulled a unmolested 400C I've had under a tarp for several years out to see if it's worth restoring. The bikes complete with air forks ,side stand , sump guard and original air box. My first dilemma is the bore 85mm as apossed to the original size of 82mm. Are pistons available ? The bore may be usable with a light hone with approx .002-.003" wear. Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks Terry.

This is a great natural terrain track and the local community get behind the event, I have raced there several times with the CSC always a good day out . Can't make it this year (shift works a bugger) but look forward to Rd 2 at Moysten.

Spent 2 half days flagging on the MX track but managed to get a session in on the flat track on my 1968 montesa and had a blast, I have been volunteering for last 6yrs and have never seen the MX track looking so good. Good turnout great weekend.

Thanks Mick , I suspect it is a later model 75/76 but am hopeful someone has some clearer info on number runs.

Picked up a 250 montesa engine at the Ballarat swap meet #73M8587. I know it's a Cappra but what year ? If I find the year I should be able to source what the ratios are.( I'm considering a long term road race project).
Thanks Terry.

Good footage, thanks for that.  I could even see myself on the TM125 #64 slip past a few bikes in the first couple of corners. Was the only race I didn't make up the numbers at the tail end .
Cheers Terry..

Stolen! / Re: Stolen from Woolongong area

« on: November 12, 2014, 06:54:29 pm »

 In Geelong police are reporting high rates of thefts associated with the increased use of ice. Daylight house breakins are more common and the crims are more often first timers. We just have to make sure we make it as hard as possible for them to access our gear. Sad time to be easily influenced . I hear that drug produces are even splicing the hard addictive elements of ice into more acceptable recreational drugs like ecstasy to get people hooked. We just have to watch out for our own and that's not just our kids.
Cheers Terry.

Just spent the day unpacking after the drive home to Geelong. To anyone with negative comments who did not attend pull your head in. I had a great weekend, made up the numbers in the middle of the Pack and had a ball. The club did a great job and a big thanks to all involved.
