Hey guys - apologies if this has been answered before:
I need a wiseco kit for my 97' 220 but wherever i look they have parts listings for 1998-2005 KDXs:

Is this just some Wiseco typo or is there something going on with the 1997 that i should know about.
thanks in advance,

I don't know of any piston difference in the different years of 220's. It should be the 69mm unless yours has been bored.

thanks CM....
i just got the bike - returning to riding after 10years off.
the previous owner(original) had done reeds, exhaust, bars and had the top end done with the oem piston. Bike runs great - awesome power, versatile, forgiving, sounds awesome.
i'd like to disarm the bomb inside tho, which is why i'm asking.
this winter i'll send the head and carb off to RB for a little wakeup and refurb the suspension as it's prolly shot.
until then i'm happy with what i have.
thanks again to inda and the rest of you for this invaluable resource.

You'll love it even more after Ron does his thing. The head on the 220 really needs his help.
The suspension can get pretty sloppy and you don't notice till you rebuild it. My rear shock started leaking and after I fixed it, it felt liek a new bike. There are threads on here that explain how to do that.
Welcome back to riding!
