I just had a thought, this bike has had this problem since day one, so I know the power valve could not have been gummed up the first day!  But is it possible that something inside the power valve chamber was install wrong at the factory?  The accuator shaft's index dot is lined up with the mark on the side cover where it is supposed to be.  And it does move forward (advances) when the bike revs up (checked this while riding the bike).  It would really blow to have to pull the whole top end off just to look at the power valve assembly, just to find nothing wrong.  But I am (and so is everyone else that I know) running out of ideas to check out on this bike.
Bike revs up slower than our 2003 KX, and if the throttle is wacked open very fast at all from an idle speed or from a really slow riding speed it has a very bad Bog! Yet if I do the Eric Gorr 1/4 - 1/2 throttle test, ie. while riding in second or third gear in a circle and slowly open the throttle from 1/4 - 1/2 twist, it revs just fine. ?????
