KX-500 Compression Release Mod! Easy Starting!!!
Torch654:
Thanks for the update.
Brett:
I hate to say this but that mod would allow a s**tload of leakage past both rings when piston is rising and surely give far less power. I thought compression releases for two strokes were in the cyl head so as to give no blow by issues. 4 strokes (oops i said it, ten lashingsfor me) just push down on exhaust valve i believe to release pressure. I would like to hear how the ring longevity goes as all that blow by will be sure to heat things up well above std. But its selling point is starting easier and it surely will do that but i believe at a great cost.
Brett:
Also what is that brown colouring on the back of the two transfer ports?

Wow, call me crazy.. but did they not install a sleeve? Im either blind or I can't see, but it looks like they did not use a sleeve. If not, I'd like to keep up with this one. If I can get the compression down for starting, I could easily save $200 per year in kickstarters. Keep us up to date.
Did you notice any powerloss? Extra heat?
Maybe they installed it in the water jacket to keep the excessive heat down? This is now intresting.
