Just got me a '97 KX100 and its not running right. When I got it, it had some weird spark plug in it and would barely run. So I put in a BR8ES and it runs alot better, starts first kick but it seems like its never in the powerband, wont spin the tire or pull a wheelie even in first. And it seems like there is a rev limiter but its not at that high of an rpm. But there is a probably 500rpm time frame in each gear where the bike pulls pretty hard - slow, fast, and the slow again. for that split second it seems like thats how the bike should always run. Where should I start? Clean the carb, different plug, what?
I was told the bike has been sitting for a month but it has less than 30min since full rebuild -crank and bearings, piston, etc plus it has new stator and clutch. Its in good shape and has some other new parts, Once I get it running right it seems like it would be a really fun bike to screw around on. Should be pretty fast? I topped it out at 55mph today and I could tell it was just about reacing max rpm.
So Im just looking for a place to start, Im sure its something simple. What plug should I be using, and also what mix ratio - 32:1? Any help will be greatly appreciated, would like to go riding tomorow. Thanks!
