KIPS BOLT MOD
delphipro5:
In the for sale section of the forum Kaw Rider has the steath KIPS bolt for sale $39 bucks. It is exactly what I was going to make a run of. Low socket cap type bolt and everything! Duh, I can't beleive it took me this long to find that here!! :lol: I guess if you need ANYTHING ask him, he will prob. have it!
AND since it already made it's way onto this thread, anyone want to chime in on the how's of setting the gov. arm to make this mod work correctly?

Is that right?
I promise, I won't post on this subject again. :-P

You take out the stock KIPS bolt. Install the new one. Remove the governer arm cover. Loosen the 10mm nut on the arm to let the KIPS valve reset on the new bolt. Then retighten the governer arm not and put the cover back on.
kaw rider:
you what some pressue on the linkage
alward25:
No pressure on the linkage.

I got the KIPS bolt mod from kaw rider yesterday, and now I'm getting ready to install. By reading this post, there seems to be a difference in opinion on whether or not there should be pressure on the linkage. I've always just let the KIPS valve rest against the bolt and then tighten governor arm nut, but I've never done any mods to KIPS before. Since this is not a stock part, I want to set this up correctly. Seems like kaw rider has done his homework with this mod, so when he said put some pressure on the linkage, this got my attention. How much tension should be applied. Also, I'm assuming the stock metal washer/gasket is should be used correct?
