Hello everyone....
I've got a 94 KDX 250.....
The thing runs great. As far as I can tell, there is no loss of power anywhere in the curve.
Over the past couple of rides, I've noticed an odd sound, that probably isn't all that out of character for a two stroke.
It seems to occur especially in the low end of the power curve, and *only* when I load the throttle.
It's a sound similar to a loose valve in a car. It's a bit more pronounced rattle than what I think sounds like a normal two stroke.
I was wondering if this is indicative of a common problem / adjustment or if I'm just being paranoid.
BTW, it's got about 1400 miles on the motor, has been ridden relatively lightly, and has never been rebuilt. I'm running 32:1 ratio, and 10w/30 golden spectro.
Thinking about it, I haven't adjusted the clutch cable at all lately.....could this be related?
Thanks for any tips!
John C.
