Hi Guys,
I own a 1991 KDX 200 and I previously owned an 86 IT200. My Kawasaki is ultra clean, in great nic, everything works however its so weak it couldnt fight its way out of a wet paper bag. Hill climbing is impossible, even in first gear it bogs down. Power up high seems fine, however in terms of bottom end its laughable. I have more chance popping a mono in my car than on my bike. My IT was sooo much faster its ridiculous. All this leads me to think that there's something desperatley wrong with the bike. I bought it a couple of months ago and it came with a legitimate reciept for a half engine rebuild (new pisotons, rings seals etc). I havetnt checked compression but assume its OK. The carby has been leaned out as far as it can go (needle clip in top position). I suspect the KIPS valve, however would appreciate your thoughts. Plese help me before I die from too much dust inhalation, caused by constant riding at the back of the pack.
