Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Jetting!!! Again and again and again!

Well, I called the Kaw dealer and they said they are waiting on a call from Stator Corp. for numbers. They told me this like 3 days ago. The guy told me that they are reading it at like 33% but want to make sure from a pro. Well, funny thing is, I know Dave (owner) @ Stator Corp. So, I call Dave and he says he has not recieved any calls about a kx500. So, I just got off the phone with the dealer saying I'm coming to get my bike (finally), and I will order and install a stator myself. If that does not fix it, then I will start with a plate then a coil. Something will do the trick.
I'm sick of riding minibikes (125s and 250s) :mrgreen: I'm waitin' to get on that 5hunny.

I hate dealing with the dealer. I think they are all crooks.
I sounds like that dealer is guessing. Makes me wonder if they even checked the stator.

The jetting on 1/8 to 1/4 throttle is fickle on my bike. Very sensitive to altitude, heat, humidity, etc.. I purchased the adjustment screw from Zip-Ty that allows me to virtually change this setting while I'm sitting on the bike. It has really helped. I carry a few different pilots to get me from one extreme to the next but most of the time, adjusting my air screw works just fine. Check the plugs, oil on filter, and keep that carb clean.

Well, I just got it back, I feel like Hulkster, but I guess my prob is mechanical not law. :-) The stator is going to be in tomarrow and I am going to take a big ride this coming Sunday, which I'm in the process of getting all the bikes ready. :-) Any, in the PIC note the Licenese Plate.. 8)

Nice bike and nice truck!!
I was reading in "another" forum regarding big bore packages that Gore does in general need to be leaned out. This surprised the heck out of me. Any thoughts?
