well my cylinder was supposed to be back this week and I still don't have it I'm starting to get impatient and anxious I can't take it anymore it better be here tomorrow or I'm calling kustom kraft to let them know how disappointed I am I was supposed to have it a week and a half after I sent it in and then it was two and a half weeks now its been over a month and now you guys know why I wanted a sleeve so this crap doesn't happen I can just do it myself if it was sleeved I could have had it rebuilt in a day not a month I just hope its good work

well what do you know no cylinder and they promised it would be here no later than Saturday (today) and its still not here so I guess I'm going to have to call them and give them some words this is unacceptable they don't seem to take any return date serious at all

It's tough being at the mercy of the shipping company as well.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

If it was the brown truck they are slow and don't care. I use the white truck and the usps as they are faster and fairly priced. they also work on Sat. where the brown truck doesn't.

Can't wait to see this cylinder.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

well its here and i have to say im pretty disappointed there is not a single thing that is special about my cylinder the guy at kustom kraft apparently doesnt know much about the kx he thought the small oval exhaust port wasn't supposed to be so I called them back and asked what the deal was and i think he was trying to fit a 86 sleeve into it because he didn't know that 89 and up are different from previous years and he told me he just sleeved an 86 so i think he assumed it was the same and on top of that he sent a wossner piston when i specifically asked for a cast pro x now dont get me wrong im not here to bash kustom kraft they are good people with good intentions and awsome customer service i just think he didnt now as much about the kx as he thought if you guys sill want pics ill email them to motorad to post and im sorry for the long wait for nothing i knew when i took it apart everything seemed normal and i had my cousin look at it too he didn't notice anything either and hes owned a couple k5s. ohh and have any of you used a wossner before i havent just wondering what you guys think of them and to all you guys trying to get me to stay away from cast pistons your wish has been granted :lol:

Very disappointing news indeed.   

Now all's I can do is first go rub one out, and then go hang myself.  :-D

I want to step up an apologize for treating you like this.  KX500's are always  our primary concern. So let me be the first to ask....

can we see pics of your wife/gf  tits ?  :-D
