how to i check the power valves
b4himdude:
just to add one more thing . sandblaster said when you have the cylinder jug to check it good. he is serious,. get a flashlight and after its clean look down all the port walls inside the cylinder every angle you can view any of it from. the kx500 cylinder cavity is prone to getting small fractures when the carbon is built up from not having the proper tdc clearance or whatever is happening during combustion. if the carbon is built up in the top if the piston look near the wrist pin that holds the piston on right above it and below it. carbon built up it continually touches the top of the head cap weakening the piston skirt until it cracks the piston skirt and eventually if continued will shatter the piston skirt and most likely destroy the cylinder if not more than just that. i know from experience. so do a thorough inspection and cleaning. its an awesome machine if you keep up with the things that it requires to remain awesome.

funny...after reading this a couple weeks ago, I noticed a small amount of spooge leaking around the rubber boot that connects to the plastic cover....so I ordered all new stuff too, from my buddy who's the parts manager...
this showed up today...all for $46.95, his cost.
