I post a heat gun on the cylinder then put a piece of wood on left side and tapped it lightly with a hammer, then the other side and it broke loose, it took a couple of minutes.

Here is the cylinder,
Crank is in good shape,no excessive play.The crank and the internals are super clean and no debris, no marks, looks new inside.I think this may be the original piston.

Ahh, well I see the problem. They've left the ports out of the cylinder in the manufacturing process! Really quite an omission. Bit of an effort with the rotary tool should fix that. Don't forget to do a crankcase pressure test to make sure they haven't made any errors there as well.
Might want to check the Piston for ring pegs, I don't see any.

Lol, I wish it was as easy as working on my gasser. But it's not too different.

Jeff, fun to see the work that you & Les did. What's the magic of the 250 vs. the XR400?
Obviously, I have not ridden either! Had an XR200 around at one point though, as I recall. Jeff

I got off my old KDX200 1991 onto a then new XR400. Went ok but felt like landing a block of flats (apartments to you guys). I stalled it and couldn't start it again. That was a blessing. My rattley old kdx had worse brakes perhaps but I wouldn't have traded back for a bucket of cash to ride that 400 again.

10-4, makes sense. I had a Husaberg FX450, and while great in many ways it is hard to overcome weight issues. It was 15 lbs. heavier than my GG300, but all of it was in the rear. Fine if you only ride smooth flowing singletrack and fire roads - and never have to pick it up! Not so good in the woods!
So your comments help me see where the XR250 would work better. Jeff
