Title: Sleeve possible?
Post by: klord on November 02, 2016, 02:04:52 AM

I have a 1998 KX 250 that I just picked up. Doing a mild restore. it supposedly is bored out. My question is , can I have it sleeved and replated to standard bore?  or do I have to find a new jug?  Thanks Ken

Yes, you can plate a sleeved cylinder.
If it was bored out, it is likely sleeved already.
If so it might be able to be plated back to the oversize spec.
Or, it could be sleeved back to the stock size with no need to plate it.
Pull the cylinder off and measure it.
Also, post some pics.
