General Two Stroke Talk / Re: Winta musings, baby its getting cold outside

« on: April 17, 2017, 06:11:27 AM »

I went through the power valve issue when I rebuilt a 1988 KX125. I lucked out and found a spare set on eBay if I remember correctly.

My 2003 KDX200 was a great bike. Was yours originally one of the white KDX's or did you just decide you like white better than Kawasaki green?

MXA KTM/KX500 hybrid. I am not a fan of 500's, but this is pretty cool.

Technical / Re: Footpegs What's your choice and why???

I have used MSR, IMS (these two are very similar), and Fastway. I like the replaceable grippers on the Fastway but they all worked fine for me. I trials company called S3 makes pegs similar to Fastway for trials bikes and I will probably get those for my Beta.

That's awesome. I haven't had much luck yet finding anybody local so I will be in touch. I was going to send the crank to "Mr Crankshaft" because last time we talked he said he had the rod and bearing kit. But I'd rather just send them both to one place.

I have been off work a few days due another back injury. I have been reading these online mags for awhile and figured I'd post them up and see if anyone has others. Both of these are non-US mags but ride and test a lot of two strokes.

So I am embarrassed to admit I never really did anything more with this bike other than what I last posted. I never even got those forks apart to change the seals. Never in my 38 years of riding and wrenching have I encountered such stubborn fork caps lol.

I am hoping to get back on it now that we are finally getting settled here in TX. I am looking for a place to get the cylinder bored. I am also searching for a local powder coater to do the frame for me. I need to send the crank off too, no sense in doing all this work with everything being fresh. It will still be a slow process but I wanted to bring this back to the top so I could use it to try to keep myself on track with this bike.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing!

The internet can be great, except it made a lot of people feel like they could fix anything because they watched a youtube video .
