Got my 300 kit today, and I have a question for the guys that installed there own. Did you us the cylinder the way it came or did you have a hone run through it? Mine looks like it is honed but theres really not much of a cross hatch. (x shaped hone marks).

By the way, Ron Ayers is a class act if anyone is looking for parts. My local shop gave me a 10% discount but ron beat the price by 80 dollars and that included the shipping.

 

If that is the OEM part, you don't need to hone it, it's been done already. The cross hatch is pretty faint but it shows up good if you get it in the light just right. Be sure and clean it real good to get all the oils off and just before you bolt it on, use a little bit of 10W40 or whatever oil is in your crankcase on a rag and *lightly* oil the inside of the cylinder.

 

Hey glad you got your 300 kit what was the aprt number from Ron Ayers if you don't mind shareing

Ah it's nice to have extra pictures and comentary to go along with the manual. Thanks for the hone info nobrakes.

 

Yes, I vividly remember that.


Glad to help, ol guy. I was looking for a photo documentary when I did mine but couldn't find one, so I made it for the next guy. Now someone just do one for the fork springs and we'll be even.

 

hehehe i was reviewing that post after i read deej's thread with the link to advriders with the page of all the klx mods, then i came upon yours and read it, kinda odd that the next thread i saw was on a 300 upgrade!

 

The ron ayres p/n is the same as the kawasaki p/n mentioned in the p/n sticky at the top of the page

Cheers
