So, I'm pretty sure the KX420 damaged the rings (maybe the piston) while doing 70mph or so across a field. I'll just have to park it and see if anyone still makes a top end kit for a two year only, thirty year old, oil burner. Ah, the joys of old two strokes. The damn thing was fast as hell on its last couple of rides, lol.

My first dirt bike was a 1974 Honda Elsinore 250. I got it for $500 when I was 12.
It looked exactly like this one.

I've never owned a oil burner bigger than a 250, this 420 would never do, as a around the farm bike. All the material is gone out of the can, so between the noise and the power delivery it makes putting around nearly impossible.

Looks just like this except no turn signals and taillight broke off thanks to brother in law.

here is what my '88 RM125 looked like:
I remember the first race I ever raced on it was at Mosier Valley, the gate was about to drop and it died on me lol, man, talk about good times.

he said it had all sorts of work done to it, and it did, but he finally went down when i got my 250. That thing sure put the fear in me though a few times- good times.
