I have an '89 KDX200 SR.
I am rebuilding the top end and after torqing the head the KIPS valves won't operate by hand. After taking the head back off they operate fine.
There are O-rings on top of the collars that top the valves. Are these supposed to be there? The States side bike do not have these O-rings. I suspect that the pressure of the head on the O-rings is causing the valves to stick.
Thanks for your help,
Rodney
