[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1391490, member: 104942"] That's good news, it rules out the "hole blown in piston" scenarios. For the record, you probably still should visually inspect the piston on a used KDX, but it's your bike so you can roll the dice and take your chances. If it goes badly, I call dibs on the front wheel and radiator shrouds when you part it out. ;) Now back to running problems... it does sound electrical. And oil in the coil is bad. Can you do the stator check as per the manual? I don't have it in front of me, but I'm guessing the resistance between the two stator wires (disconnected) should be like .2 ohms, and the resistance from each wire to ground (again, disconnected) should be infinity. And now that I think about it, I believe the KDX has two stator coils. One for the ignition, one for the lighting. My lighting coil was beyond shot when I got the bike, but it ran fine. The lighting coil had to be replaced. Ricky Stator had much cheaper options then the factory for my sons KX-60, I am guessing he has something for the KDX, even if it isn't listed on the website. Cooler stickers also. :nener: Next I'd check the coil. Interestingly, I have a coil that tested bad but works fine. I'm guessing it arcs through a gap in the coil wire just like it arcs across the sparkplug.... I replaced it anyway for safety, but the old coil is in the "oh crap" box that stays with the truck on every ride... [/QUOTE]
