anyone done this conversion - replaced the 400 sleeves with the 500 5 port sleeves
would like to know how the old sleeves come out!
are they to be machined out or will they press out?
cheers in advance

Re: RG400/500 SLEEVES
wheels999 got this conversion done in the US a while ago.
I think the 400 with 52mm kart pistons and a triple exhaust port would be the go, with a nicasil liner. I just have to be sure removing the desaxation is OK?

Go on the RG forum and its all there. I think its actually a 490 or 470 conversion or something like that and you need to machine the top crankcase to take the bigger barrel if you go the other way. I cant remember now but have a look at this link its there somewhere http://www.rgv250.co.uk/forums/
