Message: [QUOTE="jonooffler, post: 1361861, member: 107612"] Hi mate I have a 2003 KDX220 mine sounds a bit tappy on the top end which is only at low revs I have had a Kaw motocross work shop have a look at it and put their ear to it and they have said it's the KIP valve.As for 220 piston issue if you look on the net you will find two lines to this, some say there is a problem some say not to worry.I have found a online seller that sells the weisco piston for £70.00 which I,m going to get one just for peace of mind I might strip the head down at the same time but if you can pull the jug with out removing the head I might do that and leave the KIPS till later. As for the bores the 220 was hard plated from new and unless there is a lot of damage or score marks you will be fine for a long time. The one thing that I have found on all KDX forums is that every one looks like they are aiming to spend as much money improving their KDX as they can.The way I look at it if the KDX is so bad why not save your money and buy a newer faster bike, it will save you a lot of money. I join a forum every time I buy a new bike, and then wish that I had not bought the bike, the DRZ400 forum claimed there was a lot of major faults as did the XR250 and the TE610E, after reading these tales I did not like to take the bike out just in case the bike died /blew up on me. Just enjoy your KDX get out and ride it :ride: thats what it's all about, I don't know what sort of riding you do and how many miles you do but unless you ride balls out 100 % of the time and over 10000 miles a year you will be fine with it as it is. Just to add I have been told the only piston to get is the weisco as some other makes that are for sale are the stock pistons in a new box. Jono Jono [/QUOTE]
