Top End Help
I am working on rebuilding a motor to put in a hybrid. To make a long story short I have to top ends. One from a 2000 220 and the other from a 200. I am using the 220 head on the left. Two questions:
1. What are the two tapped holes on near the hoops for the exhaust springs. They seem to not be on the 200 head (on right) or any other heads that I have seen online. I can't find any mention of them in the manual either.
2. Where can I buy the plug that is missing right below where the pipe goes. I don't see it in the manual. The plug is on the 200 head shown on the right.

I think, that the two holes are for an SR bike with a different pipe mounting flange set up.
And I think you will find the plug to be a pipe plug and could be found at most hardware stores or parts stores.

SR was a different version of the KDX that was sold outside of the US and is a street legal bike. I don't know for sure that the holes are for that but I think I remember someone looking for a flange mounted pipe in the past.
Just compare the two exhaust ports and make sure the KDX pipe will fit in good and you should be fine.

Re: Top End Help
that's what I would say
on a side not, how in the world did the barrel get so clean while the kips is so nasty?
seems fishy to me

Yes you are correct. The one on the left was re-plated. It had a busted port due to the infamous grenaded cylinder. I sent it off myself but did not take pictures before. So, I was to cheap to pay the $50 dollars to get it reassembled. I was missing the plug mentioned above.
As far as the "grime" on the kips on the left cylinder. That is grease. I believe the manual said to grease that gear. Am I wrong? If so, let me know I will be finishing the assembly over the holidays. Thanks

Re: Top End Help
The manual says
. That might be a little overkill therePlace a small amount of high temperature grease on the actuator shaft lever.

Re: Top End Help
speaking of overkill, how many of those teeth actually make contact when the actuator engages them...4 ?

Re: Top End Help
As for the grease, hi temp axle should be fine, just don't need that much. Remember that grease also attracts debris, so use just as much as you need. I have a tube of hi temp white lithium that says it's good to 600F, just dont remember where I got it from

I don't know if your at the level of DIY. You have a long way to go yet!bufftester wrote:Yeah, Batesy, but you're not cheap like DIY and I
I have a gallon pail of Lubriplate or something like that and use a paint brush to glob it on stuff. What ever sticks should be good. And besides, that gear area is sealed from the inside and the out side so what ever you put in there should stay in and what ever is on the outside should stay on the outside.
