[QUOTE="Canadian Dave, post: 207490, member: 16102"] Jim its normal to feel some slight sticking as the KIPS valves start to open. There's an indenture ball on one side that supplies some resistance to motion as the valves just open. Do you have a Kawasaki shop manual? The manual does a good job of explaining how the KIPS valve system goes together and how to insure its properly timed. That said there is one mistake in the manual that if followed will result in the left and right sub port valves being reversed. Check out the " Manual Correction " article on the JustKDX web site. If you are concerned that yours isn't properly timed pull the pipe and look up into the exhaust port. You should find that the main exhaust valve is in the fully down position and both the left and right sub port valves are closed. It sounds to me like you have one of two problems, either the valves are improperly timed or the main KIPS shaft is damaged and the system is not operating properly. You're in luck this months JustKDX tech tip deals with proper disassembly of the KIPS system/shaft. Go to the JustKDX web page, click on tech tips then " This Months Tech Tip". David [/QUOTE]
