Damn that sucks. Are there any Rotax specialists in the UK you can ask about bits / compatibility? It sounds like a money pit if you can't get parts easily. In fairness, if you do rebuild the crank, replate the cylinder etc - it'll probably last for bloody ages as a trials bike but it won't be cheap. Only really worth it if you love the bike....

It’s from ‘96 so very old, and likely revved long beyond when the bearings wore out.
There’s only one used cylinder available on ebay for £150. Considering there’s at least one stud with nut still on the outside, I bet it needs some work too.
As I understand it looking at the parts stockist, the rod alone (if available) will cost as much as the NOS crank assy, even before labour on top. Maybe I just bite that bullet on the new assy.
