WTB Aprilia RS250 cylinder (or 2). Seized at last AFM event

    Hi fellow Aprilia RS250 Addicts,

    Unfortunately, had some issues during AFM round 3 Saturday practice and seized both cylinders.

    Not sure why but assume was a fuel delivery issue and not jetting b/c was safe based on last race weekend which had higher air density.

    Bottom cylinder is OK but top needs a new replate so will be sending back to TTW.

    Not sure it will be back before round 4 on June 26/27.

    Does anyone have any spare good cylinders they are willing to sell? I need one but would love to have a pair.

    im in California.

    thanks friends,
    dylan

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Steve at speedwerk is looking through his hoard of parts

    anyone else?

    I may have found one in UK and are working out a value for the deal.

    what do you guys think a good useable cylinder is worth?

    Seems like new or replated cylinders are around $800-$900, so I think a good used is worth around $500ish.

    Dylan, I have probably 20 cylinders... normally wouldn't sell any of them, but if you get desperate I could start digging for you. Want to see you back on the track.

    Thanks Richard

    I think Steve at speedwerks has a used one for me.

    I might call you about that gas thank again soon. Going to do my best to improve on my plastic weld attempt.

    coating with Caswell may be best option.
