Does anybody know of any contacts for engine parts for the 360B - pistons, rings, sleeves, rods etc???

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Hi Rosco I have quite a few NOS YZ360 pistons available in all sizes. I all so have some ring's I would have to check what I have in rings.

As for a rod ebay they seem to appear quite often the same for the pistons.

Check this one :http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-DT1-YZ250A-YZ360-RT1-RT2-Conn-Rod-NEW-NOS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ50462QQihZ009QQitemZ190128579629QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

Not sure about sleeves though.

You can email me if you like for a piston.

hey rossco,
that rod kit looks a bit exy to me and is just the rod only. i just got an aftermarket rod kit, complete with both bearings, for my RT1 for $185 brand new and then it cost me about $70 to get fitted.
i can have a look tomorrow as it's late now but i'm sure it's the same rod from a mid eighties yz250 that does the trick.
HTH.

[vandy010]

the rod kit brand is "pro x"
on the box it says,

"prox" no. 03. 2304
yamaha
yz250 '83-89
(24y-11651-01)
with washers   1 kit

my old mate at my local yammie shop here in brisbane sorted it out for me and it all fitted up beautifully and should do for all those early dt/rt/yz engines.
my bike with this kit is a few days off running but i'm confident the rod kit is the goods.
cheers.

Vandy can you test and confirm, then repost us so we can put it in the book ?  cheers freaky

I think with this rod (pro x) you have to run a approx 6mm spacer under the barrel as it's a little longer or I think you can also run a Honda Odyssey 380 or something piston as the gudgeon pin height is different.

I say go for the standard kit's and parts as these work first go every go.

Hey if you ain't in any rush just wait and these will come up on ebay. Piston, Rod, Rings, Bearing's etc.

You just really need the 214 yamaha rod check you local dealer one will out there somewhere.

You need part number for a rod:   431-11651-00

This rod is used in quite a few models.

Hey you have a quite rare and desirable bike, The bike also probably cost a small fortune  it ain't worth doing a bodgey I reckon use genuine parts they are out there and a rod will probably last the bike another 35 or so years.  That's just my opinion.

Here's a bearing.

hey guys,
as far as the rod goes, my bike is almost ready, as in, RT1, new bearings, seals,rod kit, piston kit with rebore etc all bolted together in the frame with oil, just got to sort out the electrics and carby.
with the head bolted on, piston clearance is fine with no spacer nessecary and rod kit was fitted by a prominent brisbane machinist with extensive bike experience with the old Rod being returned to me to hang on my wall.
it's the goods.

[vandy010]

the only shot i took before bolting it up

What 3 digit number is on the old ROD on the wall vandy?

Cya Adam

[vandy010]

check my earlier post Adam,
the number is 2304 but due to the motor being bolted together i think it has a prefix number under the rag in the pic.
i'll guess it's the same number i previously quoted from the box.

[YZ360A]

No I mean the OLD ROD the one you replaced.
If it is a yamaha one it will have a 3 digit number etc 214 or some thing.

[vandy010]

ohhh? the ooold rod.
sorry mate, bit slow tonight.
yes, 214.
