Hey guys,
I got ripped off by a previous owner who slapped a set of rings on the bike before he sold it to me telling me it had a full top end rebuild.
When I cracked the piston skirt after 20 hours of ridding, the damage was obvious that the piston had fatigued

So basically im looking for a new cylinder to put on the bike, I am tight for cash and the previous cylinder is beyond repair.
what year wr250 cylinders will fit on the bike, is a 1998 cylinder too old? I know the motors have changed very little since then.
It works out a new 250cc cylinder bare from husky Australia is $1700! a 300 kit with cylinder, piston, powervalve, gaskets. pipe, ect is $1699.... go figure...
I have found a 1998 re plated cylinder for $200, so If that will fit I will be a very happy man.
