i ride a 00 kx 500 . the person i bought it off told me about a ball bearing mod and i was wondering if any one knows what im talking about. he said u put a ball bearing behind the rod on the exhaust valve keepin it from over turning the exhaust cam gear deals and obstructing optimum top end flow :?

You may not be able to see this yet, being a newbe. Contact Stewart and tell him you need a KIPPS bolt. Lose the ball bearing idea forever.

Age old trick. Works well but too many parts to keep track of. And, you will never find the right size ball anyway.

search option up top, search for "bolt-mod" and you will know what you're buddy is talking about too.
