Hi, I have very recently purchased (3 days ago) a 2001 KX100 and am having a problem with it breaking down at high revs and under hard WOT loads. When I bought it I wasn't able to test ride it, only start it up and listen. It started easily and revved perfectly. It had been well cared for but hadn't been ridden in about 9 months. After taking it for a good ride yesterday it was playing up badly. I automatically thought jetting but it doesn't do it every single time so its puzzling me. The previous owner said it was fine before its hiatus. I have tried a new plug and new fuel but haven't pulled the carby down or checked air filter as of yet. What would you guys recommend I check out ?? IE power valves, gunked up carb, air filter, jetting, CDI etc ?? I am hoping a dirty/gunky carb. It is a very clean bike with a total of 40hrs on the motor and 2.5hrs since a new top end etc.
Does anyone know how close the 2001 stock jetting was ??
Lastly regarding the spark plug and lead, am I supposed to unscrew the tip of the spark plug to expose the smaller threaded section for the plug lead to attach to ??
I don't have access to work on the bike until the weekend so I just thought I'd check what you guys here have to say in regards to where to start looking or what to look for. I appreciate any help that could be offered. :cool:
