KX60 HELP! In need of rebuild!
Friar-Tuck:
Hey Chris,
I didn't see your text until it was late, How are you doing Buddy?
It is hard to believe that brake assembly is not budging, but I have seen stranger things.
There must be someone your Mom & Dad know that can give you a hand when you get stuck. You would be amazed at how much nicer it is to work on something when you have the right tools for the job.
I am gonna go back to work starting next monday, I have to wait to have my left side repaired.
The bills have started to pile up and I'll get have to get them payed before getting some more replacement work done! :-D

Hey TUck,
Im doing good and hopefully you are too.
The pedal will not budge one bit outwards...My brother tried helping but no luck...My brother said that we have a ton of other big drill bits in a box in the garage so Im gonna go searching later....
I hope the next surgery goes well and dont let me bother you!
Im going to also check the jetting on my yz today cause I remember I wrote it down in the kx clymer! I dont think I updated the kx jets that I wrote down in the book with the ones in it now so I have to sort that out too...The thing is I am loving how my yz is running right now but the oil shooting out and dripping on the garage floor and swingarm is a pain...I want to keep the bike how it is running now but I gotta change the jets when I sell the motorcycle cause its obviously running wayyy wayyy too rich...also a ton of white smoke from the yz...
Also do any of you on this website do a top end even if the bike is running?
Hope everything goes well Tuck!
Thanks
Chris

Thanks Chris,
There are several books out there that will help you sort out the basics of working on your motorcycles.
Unfortunately you probably won't to be able to take any mechanical classes until high school.
Go back through the thread and re-read it, go to the fuel part of your clymer and actually read through it.
I know it is not the most exciting reading but it will have the answers you need to get the bike's jetting sorted out.
Don't worry about bothering me! I just may not be able to get back to you quickly.
Write down the changes you make and only change one thing at a time. Record the results and make your next change. You will see a pattern and recognize what the bike needs after a while.
You really do have to be committed if you want to be good not only at tuning your bikes, but anything you put you hands to. Get a-hold of 1989kawasaki, he can tell you how long it has taken him to get where he is. And maybe what has been a help to him and what has been a waste of time.
Something you are gonna also have to remember is that as the weather changes you will also have to change your jetting. Since I don't ride in the winter here I only have spring / summer and fall. I usually change up my jetting three times a year. When I have the bike apart for cleaning I just swap out the jets.
Anyway, I hope you got the yz running better.
Take Care Buddy, and remember this is not something you usually pick up over night.
Patience Young Skywalker! :-D

Hey Tuck,
Im in high school already haha :p.....I plan on going to college to be a mechanic
I have been writing all the changes I have done...
I got the yz running kind of better at least I think haha! I cant tell anymore haha. It doesnt shoot out oil anymore but theres a lot of oil that drools out and goes all onto the swingarm and floor...
Thanks
Chris

Also with the kx, Its not a problem or anything major and doesnt really matter but when the kx is totally warmed up and its idling and you give it a tiny tiny bit of throttle then let go it stays at that level then soon goes back after id say 10 seconds...is this the adjustment on top of the carb with the slide or does the cable need to be lubed or something?
Thanks
Chris
