Technical / Maintenance adventures of Shadow and his futile battle against the cursed KX

« on: July 03, 2012, 08:36:56 PM »

Start by checking the route of your throttle cable, it could be a little twisted and cause the bike to rev.  Mine revs a little high at first and I know that's common but it settles down after it has been ran and warmed up to operating temp.  Something more technical, did you mess with the power valve? You may be off one tooth causing it to be more open which may cause the bike to rev higher.  As for the leak, is it weeping where the actuator goes into the motor by the counter shaft sprocket?  The in a rubber seal that sits down in there and that might need to be replaced.

Technical / FMF pipes. SST vs Fatty

« on: July 03, 2012, 08:29:15 PM »

Fatty pipe will hit harder on the top end and you will loose the pull out of the mid range.  At least I did on my KX250.  I do a lot of single track and like the Gnarly the best out of the FMF pipes. There used to be a company called spes pipes and they were really good all around.
