Is this possible?
I'm thinking of getting a bit bigger bore cylinder without having to resleeve the whole thing..
I own a '90 KDX200 and so this is the old type engine but will a new type fit, I know that the KIPS systems works different but is it possible ?
220 cylinder on a old type 200 engine ?

it won't exactly fit, but you can make it fit. Take some time to read up on the difference between the 220 and the 200 before you decide to do this. The E series KDX200 arguably has the best power delivery. The larger displacement of the 220, along with super mild porting and the smaller carb, makes it an absolute torque monster. The 200 is actually the faster bike, though.

You can do it, but it takes a lot of parts, including the cylinder with all KIPS parts, head, inner and outer clutch covers, KIPS actuation shaft with claw/gear, and MAYBE the complete clutch assembly, but the E clutch might work. It depends on whether the clutch actuator shaft is the right size to work through the H cover and still reach the E clutch.
