Hey guys been a long time, and well the Tri-Z went down last year fired it up noticed crank bearing noise and at idle bearing went south enough to take the stator out with it. :wondering ouch. Needs resleeved, on its last bore and its sloppy, So Sleeve it, crank bearings, stator, piston, rings, ect. Is this old long rod set up worth it?
How much hp/tq should this thing put down? I am considering a 03+ yz250 engine for it a harder one to find a ktm 300. How bad would the yz250 be to put in? anyone ever done a newer yz swap? custom fab work to put it in is no big deal. Just sick of seeing the Z sit wrapped up currently in a engine project but want to put it back up and take it out again. What about swing arms and axles(longer) anyone make them or banshee parts?

Thanks guys
