[QUOTE="Canadian Dave, post: 720416, member: 16102"] Joey to give you good accurate advice we'll need to know what year KDX we are talking about here as he 1989-94 and 95-04 KDXs use a different design KIPS system each with there own trouble spots. I'm gong to assume we are talking about a 95+ KDX here . . . . given your description of the problem and previous “transmission noises" I'd strongly suggest, as others have, that the bottom of the KIPS shaft is snapped off and fallen into the transmission/clutch area. Please do yourself a favor and don't start the bike again until you have removed the clutch cover (no splitting cases required) and confirm if this is the case or not. Continuing to operate the bike in its present condition could result in massive engine damage. Do not reassemble the engine until you have located and removed the bottom of the shaft, assuming that this is the problem. If this is not the problem get back to us and we'll take it from there. A new shaft is cheap and easy to install. You'll see a noticeable improvement in power output once the system is working properly again. The shaft will last forever if proper care is taken when removing the reverse thread nut located at the top of the shaft yet may are snapped by those who don't relize this is the case. This is a common enough problem that places like Fredette Racing Products carry them in stock. David [/QUOTE]
