Hello All,
First post for me...Day 1 of being part of this community...Thanks for letting me be part of, and Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with my questions below!
I am in possession of a number of mid/late 80's 2 stroke race-replicas (86 NS400r, 85 RZ500, 87 RG250). I have come across a 1987 NSR250R (MC16- Blue and White). Motor needs full rebuild (top and bottom). Bike has ultra low mileage, as when the motor went, the bike sat.
My Questions are;
* How do i go about getting parts (Pistons/Rings/Gaskets/Bearings/etc)? All of the resources that I have, so far indicate, this will be very challenging to acquire these components. What chances do i have? Is there a NOS Inventory out there somewhere, that i can contact to obtain these parts? Or is it possible to cross reference with another model/year? Or is there a renowned facility that i could send the motor to, who could rebuild?
* As I am new to this bike/model (as from the research I have carried out so far, indicate this model was not exported (Japanese Domestic Market only), and therefore; how rare is it? And is this a very 'sought after/desirable" model/year?
* Finally, i also need a few other parts for the bike (brake reservoirs, front turn signals). How easy/difficult will these items be to obtain?
Thanks again for any help/guidance!
Cheers,
Vic
