New bugger with a rd250lc rolling ish box of bits

With TSS Cranks in LC's - aren't these based on RZ/Banshee cranks that are slightly wider ??

So is the LC crankcase machined or are the crank webs machined to fit the LC cases.....??

[JonW]

I think TSS shave a bit off the part that stops it fitting in the cases.

[BRG1200]

I've also heard that Shee and RZ cranks will fit in LC cases if you machine a millimetre out of the cases to match the extra millimetre of the wider big end bearing. There's a racer I know who did it/had it done. Can't say what other issues might be involved. Gotta love the continuity of parts with Yamaha though.

Yeah, cranks arnt cheap.. Is TSS still open?

Anyone had a Yambits crank?

[JonW]

Im 99% sure that Yambits dont make their own crank, they just sell an Asian one. I would ask and see what they say if you are keen, you can surely have one rebuilt locally for 750AUD with Graham who is on this forum.

Got offered a set of 350lc barrels & head on 1st o/s for 350 bucks in Canada.
Be quick if you want them cause they going on ebay.
Talk to Link on this forum about rebuilding your crank.
Jon & I are getting some done by him & has a good rep. within this forum by other members.
I have an old crank here good for rebuild plus other engine parts etc...

Can you post to Australia? could use some 350 jugs

[JonW]

LB is in Australia, he was just giving a heads up on parts that are in Canada that he was offered. I think they were still available a few days back, so if you want them contact LB he will put you in touch with the seller who will ship here Im sure of that.

I think LB also has a crank and other parts in Aus if you wanted something like that, again contact him.

Cranks. Just spoke to Link who has just completed a crank for me. I've never used Graham, but Link has been helpful and easy to deal with so send your cranks to him I say, he will see you right.

Thanks for explaining Jon, most times I post I'm at work & don't have time to go into things.
Last call for 350 LC barrels, they going on eblag. They are on 1st o/s & comes with head. $350usd plus postage. Be very quick.
Sorry to pollute your thread Thommo....

[BRG1200]

Darn, I would, but I'm hanging out for an LC 250 I know of that may come up for sale.... wish I was rich.... ;-)

[JonW]

This made me think about the fact that the forum world has two types of buyers, those who buy in case they need a part so grab one when it comes up and those that search for one when they need it. Neither approach is wrong, but I used to be the latter, until I realised that I should buy stuff when it was in Aus and even better in NSW or sydney in case i needed it, rather than buy from WA or abroad and pay huge post costs, just my experience...

Cheeky pup! Umm.. Hang on, your probably older than me...

[BRG1200]

Ah, wasn't actually referring to yours Thommo, but now you mention it....

Oh, and yes, I'm old enough to be your Dad. (resists making any jokes that step too far....)
