I took it off and my mechanic set it off to US Chrome (IT WAS STOCK BORE) it cost me $275, and they welded up the gouges ,REPLATED IT, and its STOCK BORE took about 3 weeks,top end was around $150and I went with the thicker head gasket to lower the compression will put mine together this weekend,I hope this helped you out ,keep me informed JohnJR. Later

All kx's are plated as far as I know. I have a 86 kdx 200. Its plated. 97 is definately plated. They can fix the damage.
KXcam22:
Yes. All years are nickasil plated. People sometimes refer to it a chrome plating but it is not. Chrome plating was done in the late 70's but was suceptable to chipping. Nickasil is much tougher and is lower friction. Cam.
