KIPS BOLT MOD
« on: February 22, 2011, 03:20:38 PM »
Well, I figured you guys on here are thoroughly sick of having threads started on age old info that is already in a millon places on the forum. But I went through all of it and did not find any representation of what the bolt is supposed to look like. THIS is how to make a correct length kips bolt for your bike. The toughest part is finding a bolt to mod., I got mine on ebay! :lol:

 AS FOLLOWS:



I hope this clears things up on how to make one. Info on install/setup is on another thread, search function.  :wink:

Great Job! delphipro5
When I first started looking at this site I had no idea what the mod was or what it was suppose to do.
After reading several postings I finally figured out what it did  :-D

It keeps the KIPS valves from over rotating closed. Can make it a little tougher to kick, but not bad. It does make the power come on sooner it seems.

Don't forget to reset the governor arm!!!

  :? I simply posted a drawing for those who want to make them. ALL the rest you can find by looking at the endless amount of chat on this subject. I did not expect this to turn into a 3 page thread! Just was expecting someone to correct me on my measurements. But your probably talking thousandths of a mm so I think that the demensions are correct. Thanks for the pic kaw, thats the first phisical representation I have seen of what these are supposed to look like. I am thinking of making a run of these myself with low socket cap bolts. It's gonna be a while so don't ask me for one yet!  :lol:

I believe that you need to set the govener arm up with the stock kips bolt and then install the new bolt for it to work properly.

In the for sale section of the forum Kaw Rider has the steath KIPS bolt for sale $39 bucks. It is exactly what I was going to make a run of. Low socket cap type bolt and everything! Duh, I can't beleive it took me this long to find that here!! :lol: I guess if you need ANYTHING ask him, he will prob. have it!
 AND since it already made it's way onto this thread, anyone want to chime in on the how's of setting the gov. arm to make this mod work correctly?

Is that right?

You take out the stock KIPS bolt.  Install the new one.  Remove the governer  arm cover.  Loosen the 10mm nut on the arm to let the KIPS valve reset on the new bolt.  Then retighten the governer arm not and put the cover back on.

I got the KIPS bolt mod from kaw rider yesterday, and now I'm getting ready to install. By reading this post, there seems to be a difference in opinion on whether or not there should be pressure on the linkage. I've always just let the KIPS valve rest against the bolt and then tighten governor arm nut, but I've never done any mods to KIPS before. Since this is not a stock part, I want to set this up correctly. Seems like kaw rider has done his homework with this mod, so when he said put some pressure on the linkage, this got my attention. How much tension should be applied. Also, I'm assuming the stock metal washer/gasket is should be used correct?
