monster malibu:
Hey guys, I keep seeing posts with talk about "KIPS". What is "KIPS"? Does my 87 have it?

bruzer88:
KIPS is the exhaust valve on KX motorcycles.

Arigato:
Yes, your bike has KIPS.

Danger4u2:
This will help you big time on KIPS, go to 2.3.  You'll want to read the whole thing.  This link helped me immensely.

Good luck,
Danger

Here is where I found the link, below is a quote from that link, I don't have an 89 K5

This is an instruction how to do a top-end rebuild on a KX-500. Most pictures are of my own bike (1989) during a rebuild spring 2005. Some pictures are borrowed from the Internet. Credit should be given to Doordie (Do-or-Die) for most of the tuning information and the KXRiders forum for random nuggets of information.

Monster, your power valve (KIPS) is different than the 89 and up so you might want to get a manual for 86,87, 88. I believe they have the same power valve.
