Ok I'm going to try the picture uploading thing
Here is a picture of the bike when I bought it
And here is the picture of the kips valve the way it was when I took it out

Nice bike and good price.

Factory rods are excellent. As far as I'm concerned Wossner is the only aftermarket rod I'd ever use. Had way too many customers with issues/breakage from other aftermarket brands.

Kipps not installed correctly will make a huge difference in how it runs. Jetting should be in the very close range of 55/168, stock needle at 3rd position, 1.5 on the air screw.

On my 98 I was running 14t front and 48t rear sprockets for trails. At one point I put a 50t on the rear but the front end was never on the ground :P

Someone on here was making reed spacers for a really good price. I forgot who it was. I made one for mine and what a difference. Crisper throttle response, smooth idle and better power delivery throughout the rpms.
