Rebuild time + nude pics
A few Q's here.
My KDX is half way through its second rear tire, and I just changed the brake pads for the first time. (I state this only as a measure of how much the bike has been used.
When should I think about dropping a new piston and rings in? Should I use a Wiseco? Since the jug is plated, I don't bore or hone, right?
Time for a KIPS clean-up?
The bike gives me know problems, but these two things slowly (unnoticably) eat away at power..........
Switching subjects a bit...
If I don't hold the kill switch in until the bike is totally dead, it will try to keep running. I don't remember it doing this when it was newer.
Also, it seems that a small amount of fuel always makes its way aroung my air screw,and runs down the seam of the carb. Normal?
Last Q. Is it bad to take a link out of a chain when it stretches too long? I had to start running my R1 at adjustment #6 when it was new due to the small front sprocket. I'll soon be out of adjustment room.
Sorry for using the "nudes" to lure folks in.
