Hey guys this is a funny one .
I just got home last night from a weekend away ridding with the boys, Have some awesome footage from the gopro, more on that later. We set off on the Sat morning in very cold weather everything was fine until lunch time when something broke in my bike, I heard a funny sound come from the pipe almost like a rock passing through the pipe, I stopped straight away and the bike was idling fine, gave it a few revs sounds different. I ride up the trail a bit and it wont hit band it just wont rev still has power down low. We are about an hour from camp site with minimal tools so it was a slow ride back to camp site which is 90 % downhill.
I hit a mound to hard about half way through on the only big hill we need to climb the bike almost landed upside down hard. As all the boys were struggling with the hill working out different ways to get up it I fired up my bike and instantly could here the bike was running different i rolled off the clutch and hit the throttle first second third up the hill hitting band all the way spraying mud all over my mates ahhhhh about time.
I led the rest of the way back to camp site and then didnt want to touch the bike I rode it all day sunday with 2 KTMs a kxf 250 and yz 250 and the old 87 kx 250 was one bike everyone was looking at, It thrived on the uphill and the suspension ie finally dialled in to me
any idea what the sound was and how I got it to run in band again before I pull it down and do other year power valves fit the 87? I will post a vid of the bike struggling to climb without band almost sounds like a car when u drop a cylinder lol...
