[QUOTE="lr172, post: 1079260, member: 69476"] I had the exhaust off of my "new to me" '00 KDX the other day when adding the new reeds, so I took a look inside the exhaust port. The Kips valve didn't look too mucked up with carbon, but I was curious if it was stuck. So, I took off the small round access plug on the left side of the engine and turned the nut on the end of the Kips shaft to confirm the assembly moved freely. It moved quite easilly and without resistance and I could see the valve move. I didn't turn it very much, just enough to see it was moving. I thought about it afterwards and wondered if it should have moved if the complete linkage was intact. Does anyone know if I should be able to move the valve slightly if the linkage is fully connected? I have now seen some postings stating to remove the gear before testing the motion. The second thing that I saw were three vertical lines on the piston. They looked more like wearing than scrtches, however they were narrow and very obvious. The ring appeared to be in good shape. Does this mean that I should get to the job of doing the Top End pretty soon? Thanks for your assistance. [/QUOTE]
