Eric,
I have a 2004 KX 125 that I want to get bored to a 144... but I have a steel sleeve in my cylinder... so can the sleeve be cut out and still be enough aluminum left to plate, or can it be bored and then put the plating on the cast iron (I see that US chrome does that), or can the sleeve be cut away down to the aluminum and the cylinder be welded to take up the excess space of boring the cylinder out if it was too big without the sleeve?
I really don’t want to run the 144 kit in the cast iron bore because it seems to wear faster and with the 144 making more power and heat and shorter service intervals I want all the life I can pull out of it....
If none of that can be done or would be too expensive do you have any other cylinders on hand that I could buy from you and then do the 144...
also you say you buy trashed cylinders... well I have a trashed out 03 cr 125 cylinder with no power valve... how much do you guys usually give for something like that?
Hope ^that^ made sense!!!
Thanks
