[QUOTE="Moparman1539, post: 1302871, member: 72242"] Well... i [B][I]think [/I][/B]they say every 15 hours or so. But every year would be a good time to do it. If your not really hard on the bike you could probably go 2 years... And for me it would cost about $200+/- for a new piston and rings and for the cylinder to be honed or bored. It is a pretty easy job to replace the top end. (piston and rings) (have your shop hone/bore/or re-plate the cylinder.) Order the parts and put it on. I did the top end on my Ke100 when i was 15 :cool:. had a little bit of help. I have a 1983 KX250, and so far its been pretty reliable. Its kinda lacking down low, but has a wicked powerband. The only downfall i really have with the bike is it is hard to find parts for. So try to find the NEWEST bike in your price range and you should be fine. But the older they get the harder they are to find parts for. And Usually the bigger the bore the longer they will last between rebuilds. But don't quote me on that. And i'm not really positive why they have to be rebuilt so many times but i think its because they are high performance engines. And the parts just wear out quickly. And a KDX is still a 2-stroke. I'm sure it was due for a good rebuild. But if you don't punish the bike it should last a while. Good luck, And have fun! [/QUOTE]
