This Site exists solely to help you own, maintain, tune, and repair your Honda! Of all the modern 250 2-strokes, the NSR is by far the easiest to work on - it is effectively a GP motor, and can be stripped faster than an Escort parked in a back street in Liverpool!
There is a full strip-down and rebuild with photo's in the Workshop, and more than enough people on here willing to offer advice every step of the way. Maybe the first time you won't save a lot of cash, as you may need to spend money on tools, but a 2-stroke is all about maintenance, so they will only ever come in handy again in the future, and start saving you money!
Once you've had the motor in bits for the first time it's a slippery slope anyway! You'll be wanting to tweak and tune it, fit "go-faster" parts, and generally wonder what all the fuss was about in the first place. Rebuilding it yourself will also help you to understand how it all works, which in turn helps you understand how to look after it.
Parts for a top-end rebuild are going to be in the region of £150~200, plating of the barrels will be £100~150 each if needed, and the cost of labour depends on where you take it. Expect anything from £200 to £500 depending on the shops scruples!
