Hey guys I just signed up to be on the forum, but have been reading it for the past month. I've used all the information that I could get from the threads that I've read, but now I need some help. I recently purchased a 96 KDX 200. The bike is in mint condition, and between what my buddies and I could tell, this thing has spend more time puttin' around than getting ridden. Once I got it I could tell it was bound right up. I drained the gas and put new 93 octane mixed about 48:1 with Blu-Ray oil. Took the carb off and cleaned it, even though it was spotless. Took the reeds out and found that they were like brand new. I ordered a muffler for it, but it hasn't come in yet, as of right now it's all stock. I burned out the pipe and muffler as best I could between riding it and a torch. It has both stock jets and the needle is set right in the middle. The bike all in all just isn't what it should be. When you punch it in first gear it hops right up and then just kind of hits a wall. It does this the same through all the gears. It'll hit the powerband and then just hit a wall. My dealer said something about the exhaust valve. Do you guys have any advice? And I also pulled off the KIPS cover to find a little bit of spooge, but I cleaned all that. Hope to hear back from you guys soon, thanks a bunch and glad to be on the forum.
