Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original

Timing Question?

<< < (6/6)

gowen:
I used it and it did fine.

Fwiw, when it kicks back it will more than likely break your foot in tennis shoes. I wasn't meaning typical KX500 starting.

don46:
I took mine off and threw it in a box, with no keyway it slipped (at least I think it did) and when it kicked back, broke my foot, the kickstarter shaft and the clutch cover case, suprisingly the kicker didn't break. Now I'm running the 89 ignition, it's about as good and starts way easier.

Rotorised:
So far so good. Haven't had a chance to play with the timing yet (set it to 2.30mm) but is running allot better atm, but that is also due to the fact that my old ignition was stuffed. Had a couple of kickbacks when first starting, scared the bejesus out of me hahaha. But if you kick it with anger it starts nicely  8-)

My clutch has packed it in atm so will give a better report once i have replaced that.
