KIPS assembly

[gwcrim]

Putting the top end back together on the KX250.  There's a rod that runs horizontally from the barrel valve that actuates the main valve.  It looks like it would fit either way but one end of it has a groove around it and is slotted on the end.  Which way goes in?

Oh and if anyone can point me to any instructions with photos, I'd be happy.

The end with the slot (like a flat blade screwdriver slot) goes to the OUTSIDE, there should be a "Dot" on the gear of the shaft that goes thru the center valve, the dot will line up with the "Mark" on the shaft you have questioned about.
Hope this answers your ?

P.S.: The KTM looks nice

As luck would have it, that's the way I figured it went in.  It's been several years since I did my K5 top end so my memory was a bit cloudy and the set up is quite different on the main valve.  Got it all together last night but have a missing E clip. DAMMIT!

I've only had one small spin in the woods on the 300XC.  Reminds me of my K5 with ample torque.  Looking forward to having a chance to open 'er up.

Thanks for you help.
