Johnny,
I don't think they made the 220 here in the states back in 1993 & might be the reason for the problem, working from the phone now, will check on the big computer when I can.

Hope it's that simple,

I believe the top end is the same design as the 89-94 kdx200. I know the trans is geared way different. Post some pics of the engine. I'll keep searching for parts/info. Might be able to call Fredette Racing or RB Designs for info too.

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.

ok heres some pics, not the best but should give an idea. the power valves look different to an kawasaki i have seen before. as far as i can see the only parts missing are: piston , power valve link/gear and the power valve cover. i have looked at the kdx 220 97 part list and it all looks the same as this. found a sticker on the chassis and it in japanese so i think it an import but is registered in this country on a 93 plate but registered from 2001 i think (did online vehicle check). see what you guys think, shall i shred it or fix it  :evil:

Hello.
I can tell you for sure that the top end parts are not compatible.
My Dad sold a top end to a guy in the UK and ended up having to take it back.
It was a expensive lesson  :-)

It was a 93 as near as we could figure out.
Those directions look hard but it is really easy.
After you do it a few times it only takes a few minutes.
