I’m pretty sure those had single ring pistons originally so that was probably changed at some point. It looks like a dual ring. Also, if that cylinder was sleeved then it was definitely taken apart. They were plated from the factory, not sure if you can bore it without sleeving it.

Love your videos man. I've learned so much from watching your channel! I'm currently building a 1989 KTM 125 D-XC. It's gonna be such a cool bike when I'm done.

I always do a compression test before and after tear down. Good to know if it has compression when tearing it down

after having a cr 500 i could stand on kick stater and would not budge on compression stroke -- i think yours is low on compression-- great video -- she will be a nice bike whan done i always like the green look on the KX"S

That's the way old bikes go sometimes. But, at least you'll have piece of mind that absolutely everything is good inside that engine.

That was the first thing I said when you started kicking it over bro I said it just doesn't have enough compression to start 🤷😐👍..great video bro..Mike's a awesome guy.. he also helps me out a lot lol 🏁💯😎👍

Mighty effort though! Spark did seem a bit weak. I've been looking for that rubber boot for a '87 kx125 for ages. And an airbox cover too.

I love the 85 and 86 KXs. I've got an 1986 kx 125 and an 85 kdx 80 that I'm building from ebay parts. Originally I purchased the 80 in a box thinking it was a kx until I notice later that it had no water pump. Oh well. I will try to make it nice again regardless.

To get the kickstart off next time open the kickstart over the bolt washer and wind the bolt out the washer will pull the kickstart off for you ❤

Clint 86 kx 500's are Kawasaki electrofusion coated , they aren't nikasil or steel liners so you don't bore them , I've had many kx and factory sr500's including the ex jobe 86 one that is at pro circuit headquarters , I didn't see although I nipped out to the toilet during the video did you sort the carb float and pilot jet? Also the spark plugs once fouled with fuel never trust them , replace them for what it costs , I'm not trying to teach grandma to suck eggs like, love your channel lee from uk

The fact that you were kicking it without wearing riding boots should tell you it is low compression.

Definitely Have to Go through the Ignition Stater CDI, Coil Copper wires get Corrosion Green Shiizz Growing in the wires and Cut a few Millimetres off the Spark plug wire see if that’s got Green Shittz 🦠 Growing along with the Piston & Rings refresh
