so my 05 kx250f overheated and now has a piston knock. is there a usual suspect like the cylinder warping or the piston deforming before i tear into it? the bike still runs great just has a high pitch knock that follows RPM's.

probly top rod bearing (which their is none) so you will need to replace the whole rod

Well i tore it down and the piston got squeezed and galded which took enough aluminum off to cause excessive clearance. thanks for the reply and dont worry the big bore is on the way.
