[QUOTE="Lutz, post: 712171, member: 25116"] I bought my 1995 KDX 200 from my brother. It was purchased "new" in the spring of 1997, I think. Anyway, the motor was never apart until I just decided it was time to tear it down, in the winter of 2002 as I remember. That's 6 years on the original stock top end, with ZERO problems (well zero breakdowns, anyway). When I did tear it down, the plating was worn away near the top of the cylinder and the rings (and piston too, I'm sure) were trash. The rings were so bad that you could just twist and bend them around and they would just deform without breaking. The bottom end was all still tight, though. Anyway, I had Eric Gorr do the 225 big bore to mine after I tore it down-and I didn't do that top end after break in either. It's still running strong as ever after two summers now. These are tough motors (well the 200 models anyway). -Lutz [/QUOTE]
