Hi E74,
Have you got any photos of the spokes and nipples?
That sounds like a great deal and I need two sets.
I normally use S/S spokes but OEM sounds okay too, especially if I get the alloy nipples.

Thanks mate

Where do you get the SS spokes from Ji ??

[Ji Gantor]

Hi Frostype,
Keep chipping away, you will get it one day.
I will start stripping the bike tomorrow.

Hi YZ,
I have not purchased the S/S spokes yet.
E74s offer is way to good to pass up.

Ji

[YZ250H]

Yeah - I agree, but what about for the other bikes you have done ?

[Ji Gantor]

Hi YZ,
I get my S/S spokes from John Titman.

Hey YZ,
Go to "Tech Talk", "Fixing A Wheel"
It should give you all the spoke info you will ever need.

Hi Ji
Yes I have a Suzuki disease and even though you have a dirty Yamaha I wont hold it against you.

Thanks for that - valuable information as always

[Ji Gantor]

Well Suzi43 you are right.
I stripped the L today and yes it was dirty.

With the exhaust pipe off I can take a look at the condition of the engine.
This piston looks sad.

[Ji Gantor]

The power valve looks carboned up.
I can not be sure if it is in the right position.
It certainly looks like it is not fouling anything.

With the piston lowered we can see some honing marks on the bore.
