Curtis I have a manual but its missing pages. I can not find any ignition specs online. Could I have coil, stator, cdi etc readings? I'm now in a big panic cause the QLD evo titles are on in 3 wks.

Kawasaki / klx250 running like crap
« on: May 06, 2018, 10:40:08 pm »
Klx was running great but only lasted one lap in practise before starting to misfire above 3/4 throttle. I do remember it was getting harder to start when hot. It doesn't want to even start now and the spark looks and sounds weak. Everything has been checked(carb, cam, tappets, plug) and nothing has moved so I now suspect ignition. Does anyone know the specs to test cdi, stator, coil, pickup etc?? Or where I could send it all?? Thanks

Hi Günter, Standard shocks fully rebuilt by Rad. Shafts rechromed also. Only did half a lap before bike shit itself so I can't judge how they perform. They feel good so far and the price was $300!!! Yes $ 300. I don't think I will buy new shocks ever again.

First decent tuning run today after fitting vm34 carb. Tappets setting best at 5 and 7 thou. I went one extra tooth advanced from the kz cam timing. Also I removed a step up I found on the outlet inside the Chinese pit bike muffler I put on it. New bigger carb with larger diameter airbox boot, bigger filter area and opened air box, a huge difference, it just drives forward and revs so hard. I like to start in second and it used to struggle so I would ride the clutch out but now can just drop the clutch and it blasts away. Pick up the rebuilt shocks from RAD in Brisbane on Fri and then to the QLD titles at Tivoli this wkend. Should be heaps of bikes there.

I ended up fitting a new vm34 Mikuni and its really good. The bike only has a high comp piston, advanced cam timing, kxf muffler and opened up airbox. I used a bigger diameter PVC pipe for an airbox boot and then fitted the largest podfilter that would fit in the airbox. It has about double the filtered area to suck on now. I put vents in the airbox from bunnings with foam behind them so its getting heaps of clean air. The new carb has improved its starting and runs better everywhere.

They are the same part numbers. The Belgium site told me they manufacture them. Who to believe?

I ordered it and now they are saying out of stock. I'm going to contact your site and check freight costs etc. Iv started machining the standard flywheel, but not much material can come off.

Its the lighter flywheel I'm purchasing it for. About 4kg lighter!

When you say off the bottom is quite flat, I would start with jetting and changing ignition timing if you can. Its good to make sure what you have is correct before trying different carbs and pipes etc. I got a bike a lot better first with jetting etc and then I added to the header pipe.
