I admire your spirit kid. some of the other bits and pieces you may need are a torquewrench, and non drying sealer such as blue hylomar, and some grease.a clymer manual off ebay is also a must.best 20 dollars you,ll spend. As for making this a bit easier for you, go onto youtube and search '2 stroke engine rebuild'. there are a couple of good ones on there from rocky mountain atv and tobys2strokes. watch them both, and when you,ve watched em both.............................................................
watch em again.................. :wink:

something else for you to think about whilst your at it, if you rev an engine flat out for a long time in say,.......2nd gear, when the engine gets to its maximum speed, it stops accelerating the bike as you havent changed up.this means the engine is no longer under load.an engine revving flat out whilst not under load will eat itself quickly.won't it?get on your pushbike, take the chain off the crank whilst leaning the bars against a wall, and with the crank disconnected from the back wheel, try to pedal as fast as you can.if your doing it right, your knees will feel the difference of not being under load.its not pleasant at pedalling speed, needless to say at 14000 rpm it can get downright expensive.have a good read thru the threads on here, you'll learn a lot.K.

Buy the tools and the service manuals dude!! best $$ you will ever spend!! best thing you could buy for your bike if you plan on taking them apart, trust me! :mrgreen:
I WISH I STARTED THIS STUFF WHEN I WAS 13! YOUR ON YOUR WAY EARLY, FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT! GREAT LESSON IN $$ MANAGEMENT!

@kwakman I understood every word you said lol! I will probably buy a service manual when I regain some money. I bought the bike for 550 and im already $1150 into it meanwhile the most I could sell the bike is about 750. I have watched rocky mountain atv's rebuild video about 4 times haha.
@delphipro5 I am planning on purchasing a manual. My friend got me into this stuff because he has a klx 140 and when my bike runs I don't know who would win down a straight street. lol
Thanks for the advice everyone!
