hi all,
ive noticed a intermittent high rev on my kx500 when im out driving it. i recenty fully rebuilt it and have only been out a hand full of times on it.
when im driving along in any gear and pull the clutch in, it revs itself as if i was turning the throttle about a 1/4 turn. it sometimes stops and just idles normally.
also if im driving along in any gear and let the throttle off fully and let it roll in gear it does the same high rev thing and i can actually feel the engine pulling the bike with the intermittent high rev - as if its driving itself.
its wierd??? - ive cleaned the carb and air filter - no difference.
only mods are boysen power reeds, reed spacer and decompressor mod i got done by larry.
Someone sait it might be an air leak somewhere??? Maybe i niped a gasket that letting air in???
its not loosing coolant or oil, doesnt over heat and stall or cut out and still has tons of compression.
I cant be sure if its running the power it should as its been doing this since i rebuilt it - never drove before rebuild as i bought this as a project. and ive never driven any other 500's.
the bike pulls well and has lots of power, powervalve seems to come in early compared to other 2 stroke ive had. however i recently sold my Yamaha YZ250 2 stroke 2006 and that had way sharper, violent power almost felt faster than my kx500 ?
im looking for some help and advise on this matter from you experts,
cheers guys,
bigbore
