I think this may help someone who just posted in the 250 thread and has the same symptoms...

Ya im a computer nerd you could say. I build em as a hobby. That's actually a cell phone camera. Not bad eh.

Ill check out the 250 forum.

You would be suprised what happens if the powervalves don't open up what it does to your power up top.

Goat:
That was a big oops lol. At least it didn't hurt anything else. What cell phone are you using? Excellent pics.

I had a 89 kx125 back around 2000. I know there was a big difference if the powervalve was working or missing. For some reason the powervalves in the 125 would only last a couple months. I pulled it apart the first time after I bought it and they were just GONE! very little remnants left. The second time they were about 75% there. I never figured it out. It never overheated but the valves melted away or something. Sold the bike because of it. I would imagine if the valves don't work in the K5 that it would be like riding a 250 or even a 125. Never had that issue yet.
