Looks like the the powervalve setup is the 95+ style. I haven't been able to find anything for the SR yet. This is more difficult than putting a trans back together for the first time with no pics lol.

just measured the bore quickly with a tape measure and it is looking like its 69mm same as the 98-05 so the late piston should be ok :|

Just take a lot of measurements of the old piston and compare them to the new piston before you install it. If the measurements are too far off you may be able to return it. Main thing I would be concerned with would be pin location and skirt length.

Without a piston to go by I guess it's just trial and error. I would imagine it would be the same parts as the 98 since everything else that i can tell from the pics is the same.

I tend to go a bit crazy off road myself. Honestly I think that kind of experience has kept me out of more situations on the street than I can count on my fingers and toes. People are too busy doing more "important" things than driving. I have had to punch quite a few passenger windows because people don't look before merging in the next lane. I can go on and on for days about peoples driving skills (or lack of)

LMAO! I actually did forget about that video. I'll have to get some vids of the kdx quad on the mx track and post up.
