If you dont buy it I will! Even worse case senario finding a new jug should not be all that expensive. That should be no problem to get it replated. I would say go for it!! At $100 it sounds like a steal. There should be no way you would be in this more than a couple hundred bucks. Just my 2 cents though.

If you haven't already bought the 65, I would log no to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] & go to the mini section & ask the same question there!

They also have a classifieds section where you might be able to find a cylinder.



Last time I heard about a cylinder being replated it was something like $200.

at this price you cannot loose money. Take it apart if needs be and sell it.

I just got my youngest boy a KX65. I ride a KX500. The 65 scares the sh!t out of me. It's not a great bike for a beginner. He's been riding for three years.

I just bought my g/f a TTR125. It's Perfect! Buy the right bike and she'll love to ride. Buy the wrong one and it could turn her off.
