I bought a used 88cc kit off of a board member as useable ,and i want some opinions on weather this cylinder is useable or can be honed and used. I got a good deal on it but if i have to have it bored over and buy a piston kit the deal dos not seem so good at all. I put the pictures up at the link below so you can see them nice and big. Also can i use two nuts to remove one of the cylinder studs so i can drill my oil oriface?

I would get it honed and see how it comes out.

hone it. as long as there are no gouges in it that you can feel with your fingernails, it will clean up and be usable with a hone.

Yeah some of them will stop a finger nail. I'll probably just hone it and see what happens. I already ordered the rings anyway

Yes, you can use two nuts jammed together to remove the lower engine stud to drill out the oil hole.

damn that looks pretty rough.

 

[arlindsay1992]

Yeah. Not a very nice looking cylinder.

 

[BRAWNYREBEL]

Yeah. You would think you might mention that when you sell something. I was all excited to get it on but now i'm not sure it's worth the trouble of putting it on. I'm having it honed out this week and hopefully it will be alright. The 21 year old cylinder i took off the bike did not have a scratch in it.

 

[d0n]

one word... refund!

 

[BRAWNYREBEL]

I honed it out and put it all together today and it seems to be fine. It's a zippy little thing compared to stock

 

[arlindsay1992]

Yep. 88s are powerful. I like mine, but I'm not allowed to ride it even if I had a good report card. I'm only allowed to ride it to test it to sell it.

Why are you selling it? Parental decision?

 

[arlindsay1992]

I'm not allowed to ride the 88 because local laws have a max. displacement of 50cc. So even though a cop would never know unless I told them or they knew about minibikes, my dad says it's wrong. But what bad comes from it. The motor run the stock gearing so it doesn't go faster, just gets to the same top speed in less time.

 

[BRAWNYREBEL]

Will you still have one to ride? If not you ought to pull the 88cc kit back off rather than sell it.

 

[arlindsay1992]

Oh yeah. I'll have one to ride. If I sell the motor, I'll still have two complete bikes. The last bike I bought (1979 Z50R) came with two motors; a stock one, and an 88cc one.

 

[BRAWNYREBEL]

Thats good to hear. For a second i thought you might be getting rid of that really nice one you have

 

[arlindsay1992]

Oh no, my kids are going to learn on it when they exist.
