binaryterror said:I bought my 07 KX100 about 3 weeks ago brand new. Since then I have changed the transmission fluid 2 times and replaced my spark plug about 4 times. It is running great other than the spark plugs fouling. The bike is totally stock other than an FMF Q silencer.
First off, how often will I have to repack my silencer? How will I know when I need to repack it? Lastly, what is a good packing to use?
Also, how often will I need to get my engines top-end rebuilt? With my casual riding, do you think maybe I could just replace the piston rings every year and the piston eveyr 2 years or so?
Anyways, my first question is: How often should I change the transmission fluid? I ride like every other day or so for an hour or so. Never raced and probably never will.
My next question is: Sometimes when I start my bike cold (but in the summer so it isn't actually "cold") it will just putter around the yard. Whenever I give it gas, it will bog down and almost stall unless I let go of the gas. That has happened 2 times and both of the times I changed my spark plug and it made it perfect again. But does that mean something when the plugs foul so fast?
Thanks!
binaryterror said:That helps a ton! But I think I have been replacing spark plugs without them being fouled. How do I know when a plug is fouled? I always replaced them when the bike bogs down when I start riding after it was sitting for a day or so.
I can't answer that becuase I don't know how it is running or what the plug looks like. I would get the main jet correct and then go from there. Currently my son's bike has the stock pilot but I have the air screw turned to about 1 7/8 turns out and we have the stock main, which seems to be working fine. I could possibly go one leaner on the pilot for the very high temps that we are currently having. I noticed last Sunday that the bottom end sounded a little rich but it cleaned out well when he opened the bike up a little.binaryterror said:Well I already adjusted the need, so do you think 1 size leaner for the main jet and pilot jet would be good?
