[QUOTE="motox, post: 161121, member: 23372"] Ahh, stripped kips valves. Mine were stripped too. My advice, ride like it is until your ready to work on it. It won't have much bottom end and it wont idle good either. I wouldn't try and mess with jetting or main jet or pilot jets until you rebuilt the top end. My delima was after removing the head I discovered no kips valves, well only one and it didn't work. The others were gone. Oh, it gets much worse. I hope yours isn't as bad. Ok, now I did have one operational power valve. the main exhaust valve was there and still had teeth on it. Going deeper I removed the cylinder, piston, and rings. To my dismay the piston was of course shot. The rings were also shot. After further examination of the cylinder, guess what? No plating and abundant cracks. Two weeks later and $400 I had a used cylinder, with all but one kips, new piston, new rings and gaskets. It took about 3 hours to put it all together. (Before the rebuild my bike wouldn't idle worth crap, during rides I would constantly be revving the engine so it wouldn't die) That really sucked! ok, the rebuild. Finally I get it all put back together, I bet my friend it will start in under 10 kicks. one, two,...fifteen... and it starts. Amazing now, a totally different bike. The pressure gauge measured 175psi after 4 kicks. I am now in the process of getting the jetting down. It's running rich right now. I just went to a NGK b7es plug and yesterday discovered (during carb cleaning) the pilot jet was clogged. Now it even run better. If it the water pump impeller shaft seal wouldn't have started leaking I would probably have that problem fixed. Parts I have if you need them: Cylinder (needs welding and replating $199) ,various bolts, main exhaust valve, and the steel rod for that opens and closes the kips valves. Yours for shipping only. Let me know how its going and I'm available for questions. I only know what I know because of the past year working on my KDX. Before this I hadn't owned a bike for 22 yrs. and only rode a dirt bike once in that time frame. [/QUOTE]
