hello to all boys ..... I decided to permanently remove the valve KIPS and all its parts.
How do? What precisely delete?
I explained step by step what to do?
Thanks to all of you infinitely :wink:

Peppe,
  What is the advantage of removing the KIPS?  I can understand a bit more top end power but I would think that the overall effect on the power delivery would make acceleration out of SM corners more difficult to keep traction.  Cam.

I fail to see any advantage doing this as the cylinder block is designed around the KIPS, unless there is a complete plan on redesigning the ports completely. I found the KIPS to be helpful in doing drags, hillclimbs, sand, mud, & single tracking. I tinkered with riding with/without the kips along with riding with it wide-open and did not like the effects it had down low, a real hassle with the jetting, and just a pain in the ass in general.

with other words ,is the kips broken ?? peppe?
and you do not know anymore to fix it good?

take it to a good mx dealer ,he makes it good for you sure.
and riding with no kips is riding a dead horse  :|

come on my italian friend ,what did you smoke  :mrgreen:

my dear friend, I decided to remove the valve because, even at this moment, the bike runs as the valve always open because it is blocked ....... unfortunately here from me there is a good mechanic able to throw everything in its place and in a manner perfect.
Both finally eliminate it applies.
Also add that I only use the bike on the track and road motard ..... do not absolutely off, so I'm not serving at all costs driven down.
Thank you for thought KXcam  :wink:
