VP RED IN KX 500
« on: October 21, 2008, 12:24:30 PM »
is 105 motor octane ok in kx500
vp red 105 with motul oil@ 32:1
has fmf narly/silincer
rejetted carb,not to this fuel perhaps
starts easy,bike came from upstate, i'm in midwest.
had 93 shell pump in it before


any ideas on super hard starting KX 500,have to pull with tractor
to start mc , sneezes or semi backfire like noise from exhaust , ..............93 kx5 is a queen
the hard starter is a kx 500 1985 model,i no longer have the bike ,
always wondered what the issue was on starting it.
once started though, all was fine, huh??????

I would have ckecked the compression, timing , also the crab for any dirt cloging it up. Should have just had to lean it on its side for a sec.to get the carb to fill and over flow a little. Then turn the choke on and few full kicks and you should have been running .
race gas is fast but Q16 hauls azz.i still ride because i am not ready to have been that fast. i ride a kx500 because they don't make a kx600!ck k5abuser on youtube
