Kx 500 help
troy_68:
fixed it. the arm wasnt moving at all and i pulled the clutch cover off and whatever the part that hooks up to the power valve was improperly installed. So i put it in correctly and now I feel i have one of the most powerful dirtbikes ever made. Id like to see how it does against the newer 450's i ride mostly trails in northern Mich. Thanks again for all the help!

190 PSI of compression... on 93oct... HMMM.... Somthing there doesnt add up, :|
Has the head been cut? Barrel been decked? what is your Head volume? Deck hight? and squish clearance?

Something you still need to adress.....

When I did the check the engine had just been warmed up and I didn't drop any oil in. The cylinder I sent out to be sleeved and I do not think either were shaved down, so I'm unsure as to why there is so much compression. The bike runs amazing though
Friar-Tuck:
Hey Troy,
Glad you were able to get your bike running better, nothing like that rush of power and
a grin under that helmet from ear to ear :-D
I think Motorad is concerned about the compression leading to detonation with that much pressure and 93 octane.
Is that Right Motorad?
