My 2000 kx 250 cylinder had a sizable chunk missing from one of the transfer port bridges. I used a small file and 2000 grit sandpaper to blend the chunk out, but now that particular bridge looks thin. Ive attached pics of both side's transfer ports as a comparison.
Untouched side:

As long as the locator pins don't sit the rings there I don't think it will be a issue. Cylinder looks sleeved anyways.
Make sure you clean up the burr in that right port in the top pic.

Its a sleeve. Ive sanded out the burrs around that port also. Ill probably use the cylinder until I get a non-sleeved ebay cylinder and get it replated.

I have one from a '99 at home that I'd be willing to sell.
Let me look it over tonight and see what condition it is in and what the bore is.
I'll pm you some pictures later.

I put a ring through it and checked end gap and it looked like it still has a good seal. I chamfered the high spots around the ports and it looks good. Thanks!
