Looking for cylinder 89 kdx200
I recently found an 89 kdx200 and stripped it down to the frame for a complete rebuild , during the motor teardown I found out the cylinder is complete trash (after finding jb weld holding it together ffs) I'm in canada and not having much luck finding another one , I could only find 1 on ebay and it's so dirty God knows what the grease and dirt is hiding lol... anyone have or knows someone who has one I could purchase and ship to nova scotia, canada??

You might try speaking with the people at Millennium about their cylinder repair services. I understand they can fix most anything broken.

JB weld huh? I posted a video a while back of a guy running a lawnmower with a piston completely made of JB weld.
Doakley is right, they fixed some pretty nasty stuff, as long as it isn’t cracked all the way through or something

" I also ordered a sleeve"
I'm no expert here but most warn not to sleeve the KDX cylinder but have it replated if needed by Millennium.

Re: Looking for cylinder 89 kdx200
Plating is better than sleeving, or Kawasaki would not have put it on their 1974 KX models and every KX cylinder since. I'll trust Kawasaki's call on it.
I don't see how a sleeve goes well with an "E" cylinder, as it can not be ran in an overbored size due to the power valves being so close to the cylinder walls.
Unless for some reason a cylinder can not be repaired (welding / grinding, etc.), then replated, I think most recommend a replate.
The number of people that can drill a hole and shove a tube down in it is a WHOLE LOT more than companies that have the equipment for plating.

Make a new thread asking about Canadian businesses that replate. It will catch more attention than this thread title. There are a few people on here from Canada.
