    Where to get a 2 stroke cylinder replated/fixed in DFW?

    Where can I get a 2 stroke 125 cylinder fixed? Just picked up a yz125 (luckily it was real cheap) and the cylinder is trashed bad. I am pretty sure the PO installed the piston and didn't put the circlips in right It popped out and totally scratched the walls of the cylinder.

    I know there are a few out there that do this but I have no idea where to go or if I should just buy a used/new cylinder off ebay.

    Can the replaters fix pretty much any damage? Will it cost me a lot to send it off?

    Trying to spend as little as possible to get this thing going again considering I only paid 300 for the bike.

    I will get a name of a good place for you.
    I had them nickel plate my old 125 cylinder a long time ago.
    My friend always uses them.

    Dang, looks like it's going to end up costing ~250. I think I'm going to just buy a decent cylinder off eBay and hope for the best.

    Yeah it is not cheap but when I did mine it stood up to several top ends.

    Sounds like the logic i had with my engine this year.
    But, after getting "messed" over with three ebay engines......i finally sent my original one to get rebuilt.
    Hopefully you'll get the better end of the ebay experience than i had.
    Where as if you got the replating method you'll at least know it's back to the right specs.
    Good luck.

    I just tried it. It only confused them.

    Powerseal USA does the best plating. Millenium is my second choice. Stay away from US Chrome.
