Bareley starts/no idle HELP????????

just take the head and cylinder off find out what size piston is in it and buy the next size up....take the piston and cylinder to a shop and get it bored for that piston....slap it back together....all you need is a few wrenches a needle nose pliers and a torque wrench...
 
So the 240 kit is a bad idea? I figure if it's the same amount of work to bore it out to 66.25mm as it would be to go to 72mm I wouldn't mind spending the extra $10 or so on parts. Wiseco 66.25mm kit= $126.95 shipped, Vito's 72mm piston=$110 shipped +Vito's big bore gasket kit=$28 shipped I don't have to take my motor out either right? Maybe just the plastics and exhaust for more room?

in order to do a big bore you need a bb sleeve:

Yamaha Blaster Big Bore LA Sleeve Cylinder Sleeve 88-07:eBay Motors (item 370290314081 end time Dec-13-09 09:05:17 PST)

or the whole bbk:

YAMAHA BLASTER 200 VITOS BIG BORE CYLINDER KIT 240 Z:eBay Motors (item 200402014866 end time Dec-04-09 04:09:15 PST)

you can just bore out your stock sleeve and put a bbk piston in it wont work..

Ok thanks for the heads up. Would boring it one size up give the same power as two sizes up? I'm guessing there's no power gain, but going one size at a time allows for more rebuilds before the cylinder's no good. I would also guess that it would be smart to pull the old piston out first to see it it's stock 62mm or higher before ordering a new one just incase it's been rebuilt from prior owners.

yup pull the piston and go one size up from that
 
Ok I got the piston out and it has a number on top, 573M06700. Does that mean it's 67mm? 1mm over stock? Should I go to a 67.25mm or stay with whatever size mine is and just have my cylinder honed? The walls look fine, but I'm thinking just to go up a size to be safe as directed by you guys. I guess I can even take the cylinder to a shop and have them look at it and tell me what size the hole is and while they're boring it/honing it I can order the right piston. Would make more since? Sorry if I ask a lot. My mom came over for dinner and my wife left me to cook so I didn't get to check my reeds, but while everything's off I might as well upgrade to carbon fiber reeds and get rid of the tors cap.

Sorry, stock's 66mm not 62mm. No one caught that haha, it was a test, j/k.
