Hello I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I have a 1997 KDX 200 that recently had the piston sieze on me. The problem that I have is that the piston is cocked in the cylinder and there are pieces of metal broken and missing off of the piston head. My first question is does anyone know if these KDX cylinders are sleeved? I have found some things saying they are and some saying they are not and i have not had the time yet to get the cylinder off ( Thats this week's project). Second, Im sure that the little bits of metal that are broken off of the piston head have made their way down into the bottom end of my bike. So, does anyone know an easy way to "flush" out the bottom end without havign to crack the case?

Thank you

 

another note to your cyl question: I am not 100% sure on the 200, but even the 65's and 80's have the electro fusion bores. I am sure you could send it in to be sleeved if you want. Although sometimes it is cheaper to just replace the jug. good luck

 

i know my 97 kx125 it was a chrome alloy cylnder im positve you can stoke them to where ever you want but have to have the cylinder chromed agian
