Was about to put the top end back on my KX250 today but noticed the cylinder is pretty badly glazed. There are zero cross hatch marks.
Reading conflicting stories on whether to diamond hone (using a diamond hone specifically made for plated two stroke cylinders), OR to just use scotch brite. I don't see how scotch bright will put cross hairs in a very hard plated cylinder wall.
Some people say they don't touch a glazed cylinder at all (which seems like a bad idea too).
What's the scoop?
Ride like a girl!!!
