New piston

Post by Jonooffler »

Hi the time has come to pull the jug off my 2003 KDX220 and replace this piston its done 2400 miles and I don't know if the piston is stock or not.
Just wanted to ask what you guy thought about bore do you think its safe to put in a new piston (Wiesco) or do you advise scotch brighting the bore to give better oil cover.
Any other help would be great.

2003 KDX220
Been riding off road for 10 years still finding out how best to do it.Riden a DR125 then a DT125R then a DR125 then DRZ400 then XR250 then a TE610 now I hope that I have found the best a KDX220 just to add the KDX has gone now riding a WR426 which I love and is so much better than the KDX.

Assuming the bore is within spec, then yes going at it with a scotchbrite pad is a good idea. It's more to help the rings seat.

Life's tough, it's even tougher if you're stupid.
