i have a kdx200 2stroke and my piston seized i had the gas mixed at 50-1 because thats what the guy that i bot it from told me to but i always thot it was supposed to be 32-1 but its stuck

i poured some penetrating oil in the head and it wont budge i can get it into neutral tho

anyone have any ideas or maybe know what motors would fit on 86 kdx 200 frame?

thanks much

WHY are you trying to loosen the seized piston??? a new piston for that bike is like what $100 or less...if a piston seizes get rid of it and replace it with a new one


and just fyi I have in the past been known to use coke to unseize a piston or siezed parts...not a common practice but I have done it in a pinch
