to remove forever the valve KIPS
wreck-n-roll rik:
I'm new to the K500 but I do know a thing about power valves on 2 strokes - They are not a thing of the past but still very much so alive today and still being developed. First I come more from the sledding side of 2 strokes (recently 4 stroke) and modern sleds with 2 strokes run power valves in performance engines, they work to develop a smoth powerful power band, adding hp. They do require mataince, like any performce motor but alot of that can be done with good fuel, good oil and oil:fuel ratio - also run cleaners in my fuels to cut down on deposites on the valves. It's like ordering a car with a turbo and then disconecting it. Just my thoughts

I read all your answers, but honestly I did not understand your good advice. Unfortunately, as some of you know (kx500freak and kxcam) I use the online translator to write and to read your answers ..... but not always the translator makes me understand the meaning of your answers ...... :oops:
Question: but the second you my kx be much less removing the valve? And now that lap with the valve always open? QUualcuno time ago I saw the video and even told me that was better to me that for himself ..... :-o

I also let, but perfectly functional. At this moment it is as if there was. I do not know how he did it to lock the old owner to make it more manageable .... had also closed the regulation of the air carburetor at means turn and put 15-44
Here's a picture of KIPS always open
