1987 RM80 cylinder - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

sniper0981 · 01-22-2006, 10:45 PM

I have a 1987 RM80 . I have searched and found nothing yet....I blew my top end, nothing big. When I got my new piston and ring they were too small. I didnt find out until I put it all back together and ran it . I wound up having to get the sleeve pressed out, but while in process my head/cylinder cracked. I have only found OEM for 350. I was wondering if anyone knew any places I could find one cheaper, new or used. I have found nothing on ebay as of yet. Also could another year bike cylinder work? If so what model years? Thanks for all the help......

1987 1988 and 1989 I believe. I may be wrong as it was long ago.

Why not send the bad cylinder to www.mt-llc.com and have them fix it for you? They are the best in the business and I swear by their work. send them a new piston that you plan to use in the rebuild and they will repair the cylinder to AS NEW condition and to exact specs.

Email them I bet they can! I had an RGV 250 cylinder that was so bad I used it as a paper weight. One day I decided to throw it in the garbage. Then I reached into the garbage and pulled it out and as a joke, I sent it to them and they sent it back reapaired and as good as new! This cylinder has logged over 4,000 miles without any problems. For that matter I have never had a single problem with any work they have performed. They are THE BEST company in the business as far as cylinder work goes.
