Calling all KDX gurus for advice!
I'll give the full story for better background
Last weekend I replaced the top-end on my 2006 KDX 200 for the 1st time. I have a manual and followed it to the nth degree. After everything was installed and hooked up the bike started 2nd kick, success!
I then proceeded to rev the bike a bit to see if the KIPS is functioning properly, and nothing. You can see that the kips is trying to move but it didn't/couldn't.
I double checked to see if I installed the KIPS correctly and it was fine. I opened the governor/PV spring next to the clutch and everything was fine there as well.
The only thing that might be wrong that I can think of is that the right hand sub valve rod struggled a bit to go in. (The one with the O-ring)
The one below:
Now I'm guessing that this is causing too much friction on the system.
Has anyone ever encountered a similar problem?
What is the purpose of the O-ring, what will happen if I remove it?
How do you think I can overcome the problem?
When the Left-hand tread nut and "paw" gear on the actuator rod coming from the clutch side is off, I can turn the valves with 2 fingers but it is a bit tight. Do you think this is my problem?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
