Mikata 125cc Cylinder Kit for RS 125

[RS125_Tecky]

I've some how managed to chip my barrel just above the exhaust port so basically it needs re-plating.

I've been quoated £105 thats without my p&p to send it off to get it sorted back to normal.

Then i will need a piston which for a decent piston is around £90.

Then obviously i will need a top end gasket set which i can get for £20 delivered to my door.

So here im looking at appox £220-£240 including all the p&p plus the hassel and time off sending the barrel off.

I've seen a Mikata barrel, piston kit and top end gasket set for £180 brand new.

This would be alot easier for me, its cheaper and i get it all in one.

But it this Mikata barrel kit any good? will it last as long as the original barrel? and does it have the slot so i can re-fit my power valve.

cheers for any help, TECKY

Oh the perks of having an RS.

I would have thought re-plating would be cheaper than that. You could also consider chrome plating the barrell.

Hi

Check on Ebay as they are there quite regularly (but £180 seems like a very good price).

All the best
