The guys at Wiseco Performance Products picked up a used 2006 Kawasaki KX 250 to illustrate the cost favorability of a late-model 2-stroke for track and trail riding, as well as ease of ownership.

2-Stroke Tech: Are you checking your ring end gap?

Why is end gap important on my 2-stroke?  Proper end gap assures that the ring can operate correctly, and has enough room to expand from heat, and not bind on the piston locating pin or in the cylinder bore – this is the result of too tight an end gap. On a 2-stroke, too loose is less of a problem, to a point. Excessive end gap is an indication of a worn ring and cylinder bore, at which point it is a good time to look at replacing any worn parts in the system to bring everything back into proper tolerance. In the first picture, you will see a cylinder and piston kit, along with the minimum tools that you should have to measure ring end gap.  The calipers are optional, but at very least you will need a good set of feeler gauges and a calculator.
