Hello I own a Kawasaki Balius and the engine is broken (no compresion on a cylinder). Can someone help me with a Balius engine? Can someone tell me if I can replace with a ZZR250 or a Ninja250 engine? Thanks a lot.
The balius is an inline 4 yes, if so maybe the zzr250?? but not the new EX250. would it be worth a rebuild?
my bad, i was thinking the zxr lol. have you had a look to see what a new set of rings are, may be cheaper than you think
it could be a head gasket causing the loss of compression, rings here - http://www.gearhead.com/kawasaki-13008-1138.html#/s/KUS//13008-1138/1 Just search for Kawasaki part number : 13008-1138
Id be looking into what is actually 'broken' and the cost of fixing it before trying to find a replacement motor It will only cost u the time to do that , initially.
As above ^ - check for metal in the sump + sump filter. If none, then the lack of compression may be valve related - a lot cheaper ! You don't know what you're getting with a 2nd-hand engine so it's often better to rebuild.
