[QUOTE="duncanstives, post: 1423725, member: 110498"] Have ridden about 2000 miles in the 6 months I've had my KDX... Time for a rebuild... I was freaking because I was worried it was beat and damaging the cylinder coating so I took it apart last night. After getting it apartm I have a couple questions (this being the first time I have ever delved into the internal parts of the motor): Cylinder looks good to me... No goughes or anything in the cylinder wall but how do I know if the coating is intact? I understand its got a nickle/silcone electroplated coating that can be scraped off if you let the top end go too long... Second question is simpler: Like an idiot (hence the "Doh!") I broke the nut off the end of the rod that operates the KIPS system trying to get it off (don't have it here with my but I just read somewhere its reverse threaed which would explain my issues). Cheapest place to source another rod? Finally: I understand the piston is usually replaced when doing the top end? If so why? Its one fo the more exspensive parts and I can't really see anything wrong with it... The cost is not a huge deal its just that I hate to spend if I don't have to... Thanks. [/QUOTE]
