[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1390960, member: 104942"] Hmm... $50 of so for a gasket kit. $75 for all new bearings and seals. $200 for a good used crank. $50 for various tools and consumables probably not on hand.... So that much so far is $375. Now for the top end... clean, bore, plate, new piston, small end crank bearing and gaskets... $500. So you are up to $875, but for a 225 ported big bore. Maybe $775 if you go with a sleeve instead? I bought a $700 KDX-200... and as you could expect, it needed all new top end. So it wasn't a $700 KDX, it was a $1200 KDX. Except that the rear shock was destroyed as well. And the rear linkage. And the front forks. And the transmission output shaft. And the rear subframe. So it was really a $2000 to $2500 KDX... That's a lot for a KDX for sure on one hand. But on the other hand, $2500 was "redone top to bottom" to better then new standards. It was worth it to me... its a great woods bike (where I ride) and easy and cheap to maintain over time (I don't ever again want to rebuild a 4 stroke top end). I have a neighbor selling a nice KDX-220 for $1700... though last I heard he thought he had it sold. So that's a datapoint. So I guess it could go either way. If you do your own work, and you know your bike is otherwise in very good shape, $800 to $900 is the cheapest KDX you will find. Or, buy a $1700 good solid runner and just keep your current one for parts for future breakage, or sell it as is for $400 and let them enjoy rebuilding and riding it. Lots of options. None great, but none a life changing catastrophe either. [/QUOTE]
