Hi, I have a 00 KX100. A couple of days ago, I had it opened up in 6th gear for about 30 seconds or so, and then I decellerated pretty quickly into first gear, but I revved the bike in each gear as to prevent it from stalling, but it stalled anyway. It wouldn't start back on, it wouldn't jump start, and it felt like it wasn't getting any spark. So anyway, I changed the oil, gas, coolant, cleaned the air filter, and put a brand new plug in, and it still wouldn't start or jump start, and then put another plug in, and it stil wouldn't start.The funny thing about the plug that I took out that was in was that a) it had some black oil near the washer on the plug threads and near the electrode, and there was a chip/gouge on the electrode area, which looks like the piston was actually hitting the plug. So the plug I replaced it with, after I had only kicked the bike over 10-15 times had the same gouge on the electrode area that the original plug did. When I was trying to start it, it wasn't getting the slightest bit for spark, and like once or twice when I was kicking it over out of 15 times, it made this strange sound within the engine, but it was so quick, I couldn't distinguish it. The top end on the bike has never been replaced, and it feels pretty easy to kick the bike's kick starter, like there isn't that much compression left...My question a) what do you think the problem is and b) why would my bike all of a sudden stall like this and have problems, and if it did blow the top end, why would stalling it like this blow the top end? My friend thinks the top end is gone. Anyway, my dad just left for a 3 week trip, and he is very mechanically inclined, unlike me, so he won't be able to work on it, and I'd rather not waste money having a "diagnosis" done on my bike, so what are your opinions? Please help me asap, ...I'm missing peak foliage season in New England because of this. Thanks in advance,
