It is difficult to estimate the cost for a rebuild without having looked at the engine! Our labor is:
YSR, Zuma tear down and re-assemble = $399
Derbi, NSR tear down and re-assemble = $399
Water cooled tear down and re-assemble = $399(50cc-125cc)
Other engines please call
Boring:
$125 (50cc - 125cc)
$125 (126cc - 250cc)
Porting:
YSR porting = $250
Those are the labor charges. As far as parts are concerned it is totally dependant on what is needed. We only replace as necessary, or if the customer requests.
When we receive an engine, we dis-assemble (usually same day as received) then call the customer with a complete and exact estimate of repair. Any other work that the customer desires, i.e., carb kit, porting, etc., is added as appropriate.
Turn around time for a compete engine rebuild is about 3-5 days. We generally have all parts in stock.
Our techs have a combined experience of over 100 years in the m.c. industry and treat each engine as if it were their own.
We are very proud of our work, and maintain the highest of standards.
As far as shipping is concerned, please drain the oil, then crunch up a bunch of newspapers and place around the engine in a cardboard box. Use lots of newspaper and pad well.
Ship via UPS or U. S. Postal Service. UPS is around $55 coast to coast.
YSR clutch
Let's Talk YSR Clutch!
|
Friction Plates
The most important part of the clutch are the friction plates. They take the most wear and tear, not to mention abuse! Friction plates are designed to be an item that is expendable. They are supposed to wear out, as a result they need to be replaced occaisionly. How often, depends on you. If you are racing, we suggest every 3 races. This is due to the need of feathering the clutch to stay up on the power band. If you are doing normal street riding, you can figure once a year. If you are doing abnormal (?) street riding, .i.e., lot's of wheelies, burn outs etc, you can expect to replace the clutch quite frequently.
Friction plate life can be somewhat lengthened by doing a few simple things. First and foremost, use a clutch that is of the highest quality. Be sure all related components are in excellent condition. This means ALL related stuff. Your clutch springs, hub, pressure plate, outer basket, push rods, clutch cable, actuator mechanism, and the lever and perch. The correct amount of oil, and the correct type and viscosity of the oil is a must! Also keeping the oil fresh is a plus. All of these items will affect how well the clutch works and the "feel" of the clutch.
Metal Drive Plate
Proper clutch operation requires all of the clutch components to work well together. The YSR has one metal plate. It must be in good conditon to operate properly. Check it for correct thickness, and flatness. It can have no hot spots or discoloration. If any of these criteria are not correct, replace it!
Springs
Weak or fatigued springs are a major area of poor clutch action. Weak springs will cause slippage and premature wear. All four springs must be the same type. Excessively heavy springs can cause problems also, such as, but not limited to, premature accuator failure, excessive stress on case covers etc.

The stock from the factory YSR clutch is a barely adequate unit. The springs are way too weak and the friction plates are lacking in a big way. We would strongly suggest replacement with our clutch kit, however, just replacing the clutch is not enough. PROPER ADJUSTMENT is mandatory!

Push Rods
There are two push rods and a ball bearing involved in teh clutch acctuatings process. The push rods tend to get a big dimple in their ends over time. They are inexpensive, and replacement will enhance clutch action.
Clutch Cable
Lube it. Adjust it. Life is good!
Clutch Kit
The Clutch Kit, when properly installed and adjusted, will greatly enhance the delivery of power to the rear wheel. Don't leave home without it!
