Hey guys, so this weekend was the first day trail riding my 93kx500, actually it was my first day riding the bike other than in my neighborhood. Funny thing happened, about 20 minutes into riding, i was kicking the bike since i stalled it, and the kickstarter just broke. The circle part that rotates straight up snapped. So the rest of the friday, and today, i had to pop start the bike...let me tell you how fun that is on a first day riding a 500!
So my question is, can i buy a kickstarter from a kx250 or 125? If so, where do i buy these parts? I know ebay doesnt have any kx500 kickstarters at the moment, and i need something strong by next weekend!
Another thing, my jetting is REALLY messed up, the bike runs extremely rough before it hits the powerband...then it takes off...im assuming its wrong jetting, i'll search around some threads and play around with jets, but what is a good 'baseline' setting to start with, in 1000ft elevation for around 65 degrees? Or is it specific for my particular bike? Im asking for a baseline because on my old bike, ttr225, people basically said what jets i need for what mods.
Thanks~!
