[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 593859, member: 16598"] [b]FAQ Topics (thanks CC)[/b] If everyone is happy with the topics, we'll move them to the FAQ. I'd like to again apologise for not having updated it. The search function not functioning properly has been a big part of that, but there are personal reasons too - I've had a bit much on my plate lately. Anyway, here ya go, compliments of CC. ############################################################## Q: What do the alpha designations (A,B,C,D) on the cylinder/head/piston mean? What is the difference between the designations? (This is applicable to the kdx200) A: The attached chart (see bottom of post) shows the sizes and their alpha designations. Note the difference is .01mm between the 'alphas', which translates to .000363". That's less than 1/2 of one thousandth. Not much. While you won't likely 'stick' your bike if you put a 'C' piston in a 'B' motor, the proper way to do it is MEASURE your setup to determine what your requirements are. You cannot specify a tolerance marking when you order from kawasaki. You'll likely get a 'B'. **Note** The Pro-x piston is perfectly suitable for the 200. It does not have the failure tendencies that the oem 220 piston has. #########################################################################3 Q: What HondaXR models have what spring rates that will work in the kdx? A: From CDave (posted on the forum 3-3-03): It's the 1996-99 0.38kg/mm XR400 springs that are interchangeable and commonly used in 1995 to 2003 KDX200/220s. From the racetech website: '96-99 xr400r 43mm showa .38 '00-02 xr400r 43mm showa .40 '00 200 kdx 43mm kyb .35 The reasons to consider the honda springs: They are hotwound. Their length (530mm vs kdx oem 470) provides for a more linear response. ###############################################################3 Q: What is the procedure for changing the fork springs? A: Consider matt disher's webpage: [url]http://www.dishers.com/hobbies/Repairs/[/url] And, from the forum: [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74861&highlight=fork+spring+AND+install[/url] A simple 'tool' can be made to hold the fork spring beneath the rod nut. Cut a slot in a piece of sheet metal that is the diameter of the rod at a depth that will allow insertion far enough around the rod to hold the spring. Then you have hands free to wrench the rod jam nut/top cap connection. ############################### Q: One (or more) of the front axle cap studs is broken. How can this be fixed? A: Don't overtighten the nuts in the first place. Check your manual for specs. Check this: [url]http://dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33904&highlight=stud+front+axle[/url] ################################ Q: What are the basics of suspension setup? How do I set the clickers, and what do they do, anyway? A: Check this for starters: [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/ericgorr/video_tuning2.html[/url] And: [url]http://www.mx-tech.com/tuning.asp[/url] ################################ Q: How do I determine if the jetting is correct? What is a sparkplug supposed to look like? A: 1. 'Color' (shade of brown) of the insulator is NOT the issue for starters. This thread (with pics) covers the subject great!
