KX500 running problems
arleybeer40:
does it run ok though? i personally dont like my 2 stroke to idle. but to your problem, check what everyone else has said but you might want to also try a new spark plug and check your oil fuel mix.
dans89kx500:
Yes, the bike runs great with the choke on, just when the choke is off it cuts out and dies. I'm having a local bike shop look at it now. He says its a main pilot jet. I will get the bike back this friday. Thanks for all the sugestions.

chances are your needle and seat are worn replace both my last baby was a 89 it took a long time to make her all new and pretty again but well worth it.

Well, my bike is finally fixed and running great (I took it for a ride today). The pilot jet was the problem, they replaced the 60 jet with a 65..... I do need now to replace a worn intake boot real soon. Anyway thanks for all the info. Great web site!
