Yup. 2K2 smaller flywheel and only puts out 60w versus somthing like 120w (?) for the 2K3 with larger flywheel.


But the ignition didn't have anything to do with the heads and diferant compression ratios. At one time I read there were differant heads too but can't remember the hows, whys, or where they were used. My guess would be the MC models had them at one time. Seems some of the XC/DE models may have been fitted with them at one time. My '00 XC250 pushes 175psi when new and I have had the squish machined on it. I think others on this board have much higher compression. I would have thought my bike may have came with the higher compression ratio but I don't think so. I have owned it since new.
