KIPS testing

[bob larry]

Hey guys is there any way to test the kips system with the top end in tack?
Remove the cover and test it somehow?
Not sure if it is working.
The bike just isn't hauling like it should......

I've never done it but you should be able to remove the cover and rev the engine and see the actuator arm move.
Has anyone tried this??

[DoldGuy]

Yes,
Just remove the cover (you will need to remove the pipe,,at least I did) & manually pull the KIPS open and mark the rod with a marker. Start the bike & when you rev the bike you should see the KIPS open. Check to see if you can see the mark you made on the rod to confirm the KIPS is opening fully.
Hope this answers your ?

Perfect!  Thanks guys.  I will try it tonight.

Well I gave it a try and all is good.  Was neat to see it working.

I checked the plug after and it had alot of gas/oil on it.

Maybe the PO had it jetted for a aftermarket exhaust, cause he sold it
to me with the stocker on it.

Where do you guys buy your jet kits?  Should I just order from local dealer?

we don't use jet kits we just buy the right jets and stick them in there. You should be able to rejet your bike for ten bucks.

[bob larry]

Well I'd like to get 5 or 6 of them for my bike and I'd like a
stash of them for the shop
Can you even buy a Kawi Kit or just buy them all single
Have to see what number I'm running tonight and get every other number
3 higher and 3 lower..........

so I guess the dealer then unless somebody knows a good place to get a
kit.

i dont think the jetting vary that much with the exhaust 
what is the bike running like[ smoke]? 
a oily plug could be down to a tranny crank seal or even something simple like a bit of dirt in the choke circuit of carb 

[bob larry]

Ya know dumb a$5 me just noticed I put kn filter oil on my new twin air instead of the JB1   o man.  Cleaning the carb now . just getting all the
rubber and gaskets off it.  And found a nice coffee can to drown the sucker
( will know what my jets are too... All fn stoked)

I have everything but the end plug to do a leak down test too.( i bought a 1.5 "er all full of piss and vinager)  have to find a place in this dump town with bigger end plugs. 2" or so)
Could be the crank seals.    Plug is full of Interceptor 2 stoke and 91 gas.
It runs fine and still pulls from the 125/250's but I should be wheel in 3 rd with new top end.


If the crank seals were gone would there be gas in the oil change?  Cause I could test for that easy.  ATF is running me $3 a change. 



HOOKED 4 LIFE CLUB.
