2011 Kawasaki KX250F Part 2 Ep75 

I really like that you share the struggle, it’s not all unicorns and rainbows boys and girls but with persistence you got it done! Thanks can’t wait for the next one.

I understand those kind of issues. Always a relief when you get it figured out

Glad I'm getting a heads up on the issues I may get into on the 2012 KX250F I'm about to start putting back together with these videos. Really hoping I got the shimming nailed but I guess I'll find out on start up. Thanks for the video

Very interesting! and your analyse is very impressive ! the most important is the perseverance; i know that very well and when you have the good result it is the graal 👋👍 and you're ready for another episode😂 Thanks for your sharing😃

You are one of the best motorcycle mechanics I have seen

Better man than me because i would have gave up and sold that problem onto the next man ha. Glad you got to the bottom of it tho. Looking forward to the next vid.

I’ve been watching since episode 1!! You’re a moto mechanic beast!!

It sounds like the new shims have solved your problem, but if you find that the idle issue comes back to haunt you, you should take a close look at the camshafts and see if the cam gear has slipped by about a tooth on either cam or both (probably intake). I had this exact problem with my 2021 KX250F. In fact, I just posted a video about it on my channel. It may be a bit difficult to tell by looking at it. You may need to find a new cam so you can see them side by side, or try to find a picture of the orientation of the lobes at TCD on the bike. In your video, we get a pretty good view at the 51 minute mark. On my 2021 KX250F, in which I just installed new cams and chain, my intake came is lower than your intake cam by about a cam gear tooth. The bottom edge of the hole in the lobe on the intake cam is aligned with the case and the exhaust cam angles out at about 1:30 oclock. The cams are not symmetrical (but maybe they were in 2011?). Now, with that being said, the 2021 KX250F is an all new bike compared to the 2011 so I don't know if your cams are supposed to have the same orientation. But, I would definitely look into this before you try to chase the problem any further. Slipped cam gear. It's more common than you know on these Kawasaki's. The gear is just press fit onto the shaft. They slip. Some people weld their new shafts so it doesn't happen. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ufmQOSuTLh0.html

Brilliant now you can jump onto the next one on the assembly line 😂

Glad you got it running. Great work! They are definitely fun bikes.

Having the same exaxct issue with my 2015 kx250f. Hanging idle after revved up. Speratic idle at times. I did just shim my valves but might bump down one more size as ypu mentioned to get closer to the "loose" spec. Butttt i did find a air leak at the injector on the intake air boot (airbox side of throttle body). Not sure if a leak before the throttle body will make a difference but we will see. Ill update in a few days when parts come in! As always thanks for the videos and awesome content!

Another great video!!!

First time watching definitely subscribing keep on buddy

Hello from Tennessee I just watched the video I'm new to the channel so I had to go back and watch part 1 first but anyway you did a great job keep up the good work

I work on a lot of snowmobiles and there a lot like those bikes , newer EFI or FI can be a challenge to figure out, in some cases you have to take them to the dealership to have them reflashed

Hey Peter, absolutely love your videos! Genuine question, can you hone nikasil coated cylinders, or is it just for sleeved cylinders. Cheers

Love your videos!! Delete the intro.. it doesnt add to your videos. The great content is enough!! Thank you sir!

🐻💚💚💚💯

Hello! I was wondering where you get the service information on these bikes. I bought a basket case 2014 kx250f and would like a manual that shows torque specifications and service limits on wear items. Thank you!

These bikes are also known to have alot of issues out of the tps sensor (throttle position sensor) if it is off any when installed back after a rebuild it will idle wrong and act up be laggy with its throttle response and it can be off by millimeters when bottled back in you need to mark the sensor and bolts to make sure it's lined up on the kx250f fi bikes a dealer has the tool that hooks up and monitors the signal coming from tps and its voltage and can adjust it on the fly to get it working properly

So at part 1 of this series of videos, you found some metal down in the screen and some fine metal in the filter, but you didn't dig into the bottom end at all, so is your plan to just kind of cross your fingers and do a few early oil changes?

👍👍👍👍

Can somebody please reply if they know if a 2011right side engine case fits a 2010left side engine casing like do they fit can’t find a left casing for the 11 year

Hey Roost Could You possibly let me know what lash clearances you had once done adjusting?? This is my exact identical problem and this is the Answer I need… I’ve went from injectors to TPS To air temp sensor, diagnostics test fuel pressure test All with your help too, but I’ve waited for this update to get the specifics from the pro himself!!! Good journey through this issue of mine as well Roost!!!

hello i have a kxf250 2011 and i have to give it a little throttle to start it idles very low as well

Hello restorooster i got a 2014 kx450f and it got hard to start when cold and will only start with a 12v battery connected or bump starting. should i test the stator first? Any help is appreciated

after a few kicks can you hear the fuel pump?

I'm pretty sure it's fairly normal for the 2011 kx250f to hang idol mine does it to😔
