Yes, that is a plated cylinder so if it galls, or wears out, it cannot be bored out you have to put a new sleeve in it. The new sleeve will be able to be bored out so it will last for a long time. The resleeving is best left to a cycle shop or machine shop with the propper equipment, as it is an interfearence fit and the cylinder must be bored perfectly, then heated in an oven to be able to install the new sleeve.

Just rebuilt the top end on my 1999 kx 250 and wondering what the torque specs are for the head and cylinder

Cylinder bolts @ 25 ft/lbs (34Nm)
Cylinder head nuts @ 18ft/lbs (25Nm)
Check these nuts again after first warm up and again after first two rides to let gaskets bed in and seal. Cheers.

Upper cylinder repair

Best would be to re-ring the piston you have unless it is damaged. To check the cylinder for wear, remove the ring from the piston and use a feeler gage keep using a smaller one till one fits, if less than .005 ok to re-ring. if more than that you might see if you can find a larger piston. one that fits at .0015 -- .0025 is good fit.

Can you bore a sleeved cylinder from a standard 1991 Kawasaki kx 250 or will it need to be re-sleeved? Not sure if the cylinder sleeve is stock. My understanding is that Kawasaki installed factory sleeves...

If you say it is definately sleeved it should be possible to bore it, you normally get one or two oversizes before it needs resleeving. If you are able to buy an over size piston from kawa or wiseco, chances are it can be bored.

Problem starting ktm 2006 sxf 250

check inlet valve clearances. they close up making it hard to start exactly as you described. titanium valve coatings wear and ressesion happens quickly,a clean air filter must be maintained to prevent contaniments wearing valve coatings.

Bore size

The cylinder bore is just that > the bore size of the cylinder. The piston clearance should be 0.0015 to 0.003. Anything more than .005 and the piston is too loose.

Engine Top End:
Auto Decompressor Bolt 104 in·lb
Cylinder Head Cover Bolts 87 in·lb
Cylinder Head Bolts: M10 36 S
M6 104 in·lb S

the S in that means the specified pattern ... just like tightening car tire bolts... please note all that it its INCH lbs....

don't know why it says just 36 for the M10 bolts unless they left out inch lbs

Anything else let me know as i've got a manual for the 250 f... actually i've got a few different ones
