Bad coil or cdi?

Ya im glad its something simple also. Ill snap a pic of the new gasket when I get it. The guy from Cometic threw out some thicknesses but I dont remember what he said. I just told him to go with w/e was standard and he said ok. They have real good customer service there.... I was suprised.

Awesome. I've never had to call them. They have good products. Cometic and vesrah are the only 2 companies I get gaskets from.

  This should help if you still need electrical stuff.
    I am fit to be tied as to how to get the dab gum stuff organized so people can find what they need...
    Glad you found the problem..

Thanks a lot for that info friar!

Here are some pics of the gasket I pulled off. You can see the correct side of the gasket the powervalve rod goes through and the incorrect side I used









Wont be doing that again.

 Man you are fast with the pics and you photo's are clear...
    I'll keep working at it....
I think this may help someone who just posted in the 250 thread and has the same symptoms...

You would be suprised what happens if the powervalves don't open up what it does to your power up top.

That was a big oops lol. At least it didn't hurt anything else. What cell phone are you using? Excellent pics.

I had a 89 kx125 back around 2000. I know there was a big difference if the powervalve was working or missing. For some reason the powervalves in the 125 would only last a couple months. I pulled it apart the first time after I bought it and they were just GONE! very little remnants left. The second time they were about 75% there. I never figured it out. It never overheated but the valves melted away or something. Sold the bike because of it. I would imagine if the valves don't work in the K5 that it would be like riding a 250 or even a 125. Never had that issue yet.
