    Could the muffler needing a repack cause strange jetting needs? Ive just read I should be doing it every 10 to 15 hours and have not as yet. I doubt the previous owner did.

    I will strip it down tomorrow and do it during the week.

    Not sure if i would be keen on changing jets in the sand. Its a bit of a pain but looking at the plug can tell you a lot as can an old hand that knows how to jet by experience.
    I will be there on sunday, normally down the side road, maroon toyota saloon and kea trailer, come and say hello.

    Pulled the muffler apart this morning. Found 80% of the holes in the mesh inside were blocked.

    No, I swapped bikes with one of Shauns mates that had a KDX. And a red Toyota, name escapes me.

    But will probably bump into you up there. Not literally I hope.

    Is there a way to check the reed valves without removing the reed block? And if I do remove them how do i tell if they are worn?

    And Boysen the best ones to use if they are?

    you cant tell with out removing them,

    you put them up to light, if you can see daylight though the reeds where they meet the reed block, also check for chipping or freying on the ends,

    Turns out needle in the lowest clip and the stock expansion chamber has helped her a lot. But will get the Pro Circut fixed up and back on soon.

    She went great again at Moto X central. Heaps of torque now, I do wonder if the stock chamber is a good thing or bad. Will get my Pro Circut fixed up and painted and see.

    So it turns out my Pro Circut pipe is very bent, probably need a new one. Got the stocker on.

    Which pipe is better then? Pro Circut platnium or a FMF woods/rev?

    I managed to straighten my pipe. Almost ready to go back on the bike.

    Anybody got ideas for a better kick starter? Ive got the long jobby thats flogged out.

    Ive read a 89 KX125 lever goes on and is shorter.

    You should be looking at doing an engine swap if the frames ok on the KX, best way to shed 15kgs og weight, only down side you loose the side stand.

    Bikes a bit knocked about and I love the KDX. And is it really that much weight difference?
