Message: [QUOTE="howes, post: 1358045, member: 106620"] Kips Problems ?? I think ? I bought an immaculate 2002 kdx200 a while back with 2600klm on the clock, the bike looked new. I had never heard a Kdx Run before & I could hear a Kips rattle. So to ease my mind I pulled the Head off & put a new piston & Rings in . Although it did not need it. I cleaned the kips parts & put the bike back together . It went the same as it did before the work ,, Great ? The Kips noise was quite after cleaning it & reassembly . But at about 300klm later the kips noise came back , Noisy as ever . To check that it was the Kips I pulled the Exhaust off & had a look at the piston & Rings . Looks new !! Put my finger up the Exhaust port & check for piston slap , Tight no problems. Any ideas it's driving me nuts *****ing.. Surely I'm not the only Kdx owner who has this problem . Bike runs fine but, sounds like a bad case of piston slap & why did the noise come back Thanks peter [/QUOTE]
