I think lozzas going to give you a call very soon as we might want to buy a few of your other cylinders

I'd also imagine that uniflow is completely revising the port layouts and cooling whereas the others are pretty much stock std replicas with larger bores
Correct we if I'm wrong but you can make the cylinder mechanical pv and then If soneone wants servo control they can easily retrofit it

Servo PV is simple upgrade and worth it weight in gold and easy to realise.
A 72 X 72 mm format for big bore would be ideal bigger wouldn't be any better

Both the esr and Athena cylinders are currently only 300cc. You can bore your stock cylinder out to this size!ESR is 325 and up and using 75-80mm bore. As for boring out the stock cylinder you do plan on replating as well right? And we could talk about how the stock powervalves are failing due to how close they are to the piston. Watson777 can chip in on that one.

Power valve would be easier electronic and a Ignitec would run it easily. We already build curved power valves for wobbly.

no the ESR is 325 and they hope/plan to do larger in the future! big difference
if you can tell the difference between a 325 and a 295 then ill be damned.
going out to 265/295 in a stock cylinder isnt hard when done properly, I've taken my late model CR cylinder out to the limit and no dramas so far apart from a lean sieze which was purely my fault.
when the PV is too close to the piston you machine it down, I spent 2 hours on my PV with a die grinder until it was perfect!

A modern cylinder for case reed CR250 you would struggle to keep up demand for 250 National karts.
THIS
I think you would sell atleast 25 a year if not more, and Id buy one too!

I agree with this.When can i order mine?

man looks like there's some intersest, you all should buy two for a spare.
Well if it gets produced i might just purchase two.
Might wind up with one or two of the gorr kits.

screw gorr, uniflow is one of us.
Ok.At this point at least gorr is developing.ESR is developing also.The yz cylinder will be used for the 92-01cr also.Should uniflow develop one and give us another option that would be great!As of right now it is just talk.

yes, but this is a guy who casts engine cylinders and other parts for a living, not some pimply faced teenaged with epic dreams.
I trust that uniflow will get around to making these cylinders whether they be for the YZ of the CR... or whichever bikes he wants.
If there is enough demand for both the CR and YZ cylinders, hopefully we can talk him into making both for us

What would be cool is if he threw in a counter balancer.
or you could just get a gas gas motor which is 300cc's std and already counterbalanced from the factory

Otherwise if you want a six speed, counterbalanced CR265 shoot me a PM and Ill show you how.
Post by: bearorso on December 16, 2012, 10:36:58 PM
Does it still have the counter balancer?
No, the last GG 2ts to have them, "I think", were those in Pampera 2ts. But I could be mistaken.
I think for a while, the empty housing, on the front of the cases was left on. Then deleted?

You are right offroader, it's only talk. The thing is I have made cylinders but only for my own consumption. I will go ahead with a cylinder for the YZ ( as a test ), if they are any good I will make them available. A set of YZ 250 cases turned up today to measure up ( I'm not pulling mine to bits yet ). Seems there will need to be a slight crankcase change to get an 80mm piston in. I'll look at some smaller piston options also, although I like the 80mm piston.
Uniflow,wasn't doubting your abilities.Great to hear that you will try the yz first.Hopefully you will do the case reed cr also.Smaller piston options would be nice also.Should you decide to do the cr I will purchase one asap.Should you need some help testing it i can assist with that also.This is good stuff!

I will purchase a 360 kit whenever its available as long as it makes more power than a 450. I can't stand 450s and I want something for Glamis with a little more juice than my EG295.You can do that with a 265 let alone a tuned 250. The problem is pro built 450's..
