03 KX250 Power Valve clean up-help
« on: March 10, 2010, 09:01:35 AM »
I am currently going through my bike and doing the necessary maintenance for the summer season. I just pulled my motor yesterday and would like some help or any tips on cleaning the power valves. I took the cover off and they are NASTY! The cover I removed was the one above the exhaust port. How do I go about removing/cleaning them?...if they're even the power valves..
helps or tips much appreciated.
Thanks.

Berkeybile 2+2 instant gum cutter  or Yamaha carb cleaner, you mix it with water , 1 to 1 and leave the parts in it over night the stuff works great even better on old carbs.CBX
Yep, you can ride it - if YOU can start it !!

   The best money you can spend would be to get the manuals and the Clymer.   You can save yourself lots of headaches....
