Maintenance & Technical > KX250 / KX125
The Troublesome KX125 i own.. Has a cracked transfer port :|
John:
Sine you are quoting pounds I assume you live in the UK? I have used Stan Stevens (http://www.stanstephens.com/) and I can recommend him. He welded and re-plated my KX5 cylinder and he's got more experience in two strokes than anyone I ever met (sorry Doordie...).
I would not sleeve unless I was forced to.
Hey, he can even tune the cylinder to your liking! (Take pictures after!)
Give him a call.

TaKeN:
Yes im in the Uk :)
I was thinking of sending it stan stephens.
Sorry i took so long to reply, i was so annoyed with the KX that i just left it in the shed waiting for me to take it apart :)
I removed the cylinder completely and found a goughe in the cylinder wall aswell :(
Then when i looked at the piston it was cracked in two places ! down the front going diagonally,
It looks to me like its very nearly siezed at one point because there are some nasty marks on the piston where its got very tight.
Today i removed all the powervalve assembly and discovered that the left hand side exhaust valve has some damage to the teeth so i need to import one from the USA Because its no longer available in the UK ( I might just refit the damaged one, its not too bad )
So now i need..
New Gaskets
New Powervalve Seals
Cylinder Repair - machining and replate
New piston , ring , circlips, gudgeon pin.
a bike that cost me ?550 is turning into and expensive bike :(
Why do i always buy the lemons :(
I will put some good pics up tommorow showing the damage to the piston :)
John.
