fluffy,i do have that exact manual,new on ebay(19.99 plus shipping was about $28.00)i wish it was only the manual for my bike not all the 125 and 250's and different years,it seems like i have to go through all the bikes before i get to mine.i dont like the manual at all but its better than taking it in to the local $85.00 an hour ripoff shops.i rebuilt my top end on my yz250 several times and changed the right crankcase and thats the most ive done,this kips system looks much more technical than my 95 wr250's power valve system,maybe its not and its just me?

fluffy:
if you did that,than you can fix kips. use the search at the top. punch in kips fix or the like. theres a whole page that walks you right threw it.

hi,i tried typing in kips before but i didnt come up with how to clean it but other things.will definitely do that and try different search words. thanks.

fired it up and ripped it through the gears.bike runs like a charm again. a 53cent e-clip and that was it and everything is back in alignment and in place now.it is a 100% wheelie machine again.glad i tried it myself before taking it in and spending wasted cash.

98kaw5oo:
my kips is noisy and chatters and ticks,i dont mind the lifter tick sound when its at idle when you can hear it but i can hear it when i go to give it gas usually at higher speeds,is this normal or is there something wrong with the kips?,the bike runs perfect though.
