So I finally broke my '92 KX500 right, its not shifting correctly, and its time to split the cases and find out what is going on. It had also been coming time for a fresh top end, she read 120PSI on the compression gauge before the descion to tear her down.
So far I have noticed that my power valves were overclosing, and I have a Stealthy flywheel weight installed that I did not know about when I bought the bike. This thing is gonna SCREAM once its back together. I also managed to find some crud in the pilot jet. Hopefully she will idle again.
Question for those who have used a flywheel weight, how are they attached?
I noticed a series small hex head set screw s on the outside circumfrence, but did not have the right allen wrench to remove the set screws. I belive these may hold the weight on, but there was also a secion on the outside in the center where it looks like a puller may have to be used.
This is the first bike I have had since I was about 15(I just turned 26), I got to ride it 5-6 times before the shift problem. Running like a cripple, the power totally hooked me, I can't wait to get her working back to factory spec again!
Thanks for the insight on the flywheel weight in advance!
