    the sleeve is the original cast iron, a company in holland is specialised in nicasil, the do it up to 0.5mm wall thikness: www.powerseal.nl it is not so cheap, but if your cilinder is at the end of his liftime it is a good option, and stands long.

    I have a 93mm wiseco in mine so its game over for the liner after this piston. the nikasil is a good option.

    what have you done with your suspension and brakes?

    i had been lucky to found a works ohlins frontfork at an auction, for the rear shocks i have ordered a custom made pair assembled whit white power parts, cost much but result is great. Original rear break is satisfied but front brake i still have not found a good set up the get it braking well, i have trying several type op brake liner materials, have the drum surface turned, as well as the liners, had made a longer lever at the brake drum, but stil not good braking, any sujestion is welcome.

    I have "soft" linings made to suit the wheel. they are ok, but need attention, as they glaze up , so I sand them (40 grit) and the steel liner with - 320 grit , then they have improved a lot. and a friend helped me to set up the shoes with wheel off the bike, so as to easily adjust the rod for the second cam. I think it needs to be done every 3 or 4 rides. Not as good as a yamaha, but maybe 80% !

    The sleeve from my 510 is the original cast iron and nicasil stick to it, a company in holland is specialised in this matter : www.powerseal.nl for my 570 cilinder i had made several mod's and fitted a new big bore liner that i hav made from a cast iron liner that i took from an industrial diesel engine. I now guys who took the original aluminium liner from a 610 engine, but as the watercooled engines using head gaskets and the aircooled engines are sealed by the liner i choosed for a cast iron type to get the same sealing as the 510 version, sa for it works very well. First I had a 5 speed gearbox on the 570 engine ( same as a used on the 510) but that was hard to keep the front wheel down so I changed to a 4 speed gearbox.
