Re: 1984 kdx200 piston
You're talking about the hole on the intake side, yes? Earlier pistons generally had just a small hole drilled there. Later pistons usually have a window. I would guess that your 84 stock piston would probably just have the small hole drilled on the intake side. There is not a lot of information that I have found regarding the amount of difference this makes, but I can tell you whatever difference there is is not noticeably on my 89. I have run both, and there is no discernible seat-of-the-pants difference.
