Plated Cylinders
hughes:
doordie and others.I posted some pictures in my gallery of my cylinder need to know if I could get some more use out of it. Just laid down over $500.00 in parts this week and just don't know if I could spend anymore. Tell me what you think. a.huhges 87 kx500 gallery first page. Bore size 86.02-86.35 10% smaller for a ball hone would be 77.67 is my math right :?: Thanks
John:
I was curious about this and checked out the official service manual; "..the cylinder must be replaced with a new one since the ELECTROFUSION cylinder cannot be bored or honed" This quote is taken from the section of how to inspect the cylinder wear. It is however the only reference I find to honing in the manual.
I think that's a clear - but not entirly correct - statement since you can replate the cylinder.

John, What manual? Cylmer or Kasawaski. They might be talking about honing a cylinder to square it up. I think when they replate they go in with a cutting hone to square the bore up with the center line. But i agree with you about clear and unclear statment.
John:
Hughes,
That would be the Kawasaki Heavy Industries LTD Motorcycle Service Maual from 1988 - part no. 99924-1101-01
It might be a tad old and outdated. Really, 1988, my kids are yonger than this book!
