So I still have some play in the kips rod after replacing the seal. I know motorrad had to replace the rod after performing a pressure test. My question is what did you use to apply/test the pressure? Is there a certain tool? Should the piston be at bdc? How much pressure? Thanks.
sandblaster:
You can buy a tool or you can make one..

Remember to test positive and negative pressure.
Should hold 7lb overnight.
Pmcg:
Thanks blaster. You site is great. What is the plug in the pictures for? The exhaust?
sandblaster:
Yes, one plug is for the exhaust, the other plug is for your carb boot.
I think somewhere on KXriders is a pic of Motorrad's complete set up.
IF nobody chimes in I'll see if I can find it after work today.
Pmcg:
Poor mans leak tester.
