87 kx 500
5004life:
ok im goin to putting my kx 5hundy together here soon ...i took the powervalve apart to clean it and for some reason didnt pay attention to how it was put together lol but i have a manual and put it back together jus like it said and for some reason it doessent look right so i took some pics of it to see wat ur guys opinion on it was ......and also would synthetic amsoil grease work for lubing the powervalve parts?
5004life:
fully closed position with the rod pushed all the way in
fully open position with the rod all the way out
dave916:
yeah they look ok
i assume the timing marks are line up exactly? the flywheel side kips valve will look wrong on the closed position
this is due to 87 valves being identical but fitted to different sides
the recomended grease for the kips is molybdenum dilsulfide grease
5004life:
thanx man i have been wondering about that valve for a while ...but where do i get this grease? my local moto shop recommended this waterproof bel ray grease but idk and we got the amsoil grease where i work.. for cheap
kwakman:
I THINK YOUR PV TIMING IS OUT,JUST HAD A GANDER AT MY 86 AND WHEN THE ROD IS ALL THE WAY IN,YOU CANNOT SEE THE HOLE IN THE VALVE ON THE FLYWHEEL SIDE.WHEN THE ROD IS OUT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THE VALVES INTO THE BARREL.HTH.
