OK, so my '04 KDX220 just seized (will tear down just now), I suspect the piston skirt issue has come to haunt me :|
Any advice on which piston to use? and what process should I follow eg- renicasill, new piston etc or just hone?
Thanks
Joe
I have same bike. Used Wiseco's for replacement. Haven't had that skirt issue yet, just a horrible rattle that can't be found or cause isolated. Sorry for your luck, must be something in the air!
Ive been told that a mystery rattle on the kdx's is usually clutch chatter and can be helped tramendously by draining and refilling the case oil with one whole quart, my 2000 220 makes zero noise, ive been using one full quart, changing it about every 2 weekends since I got it a couple of months ago and is super smooth, no noise.
Feedback, it was the skirt all right, shattered on the inlet side! Ordered one on fleabay 'cause no one here stocks the 220 (only 200's), paid $86 is this fair? plus another $30 for shipping, Oh, and Fredette can't help me, I'm on the other side of the planet. Nicasilling here costs about $170
Cheers
Joe
