MORE PROBLEMS! First Ride On The 1989 Kawasaki Kx125 Dirt Bike 

FIX THE PIPE it could be the dents are in bad spots for a two-stroke power band 15:31, try and run with someone squezing your neck. Put stoppers in both ends but one with a hole so air compressor can pressurize like blowing up a ballon and use a Rose bud torch to heat dented area and it will pop out

I agree with fixing pipe

Can i buy that kx

Let me buy it

Τhe bike is not lean but rich just lettin you know also the pipe is a big role for the power band

I don't know a lot about bikes I have had the same 86 cr500 for a long time if you have a dented pipe dose it affect the bike and how big dose the dente have to be for it to affect it

I thought that initially but when I considered it further I would have hoped Kawasaki made it only go in one way according to the rack that operates it. May be wrong though

No they only go in one way you can’t put them in wrong

I came here to say this.

Said this in last video

@@steven-vn9ui bro the power valves all open up at once

I’d still rather not foul plugs at all lol

Yes DO NOT run any machines lean. A fouled plug here an there is par for the course esp with 2 - strokes.

@@tpghl5225 then ride newer 4-strokes like I do ! Best way to go. #Yamaha #KTM

@@Davido50 I have a 2004 rm250 with a lectron and never foul plugs but was just saying I’d rather not foul any at all by not purposely running too rich. I also have a 2015 rmz450. Obviously plugs don’t last forever either way 2 stroke or 4

Or the Reed valve is chipped.

That's what i think

All i run is 32:1 in a Suzuki jr 80

I made the mistake of changing ratio with my bike trying to solve a plug fouling issue. Went as lean 40:1 and burnt the piston up. That why I had to get new piston. So I stuck to 32:1 and worked on jetting.

You have a good point it's worth a look

Its normally floatl height when it goes well with petrol turned off

You kitted it 🤣 you can tell a novice who doesn't know Jack a mile away.

I was actually just going to make that comment but then you I read through the comments and you beat me to it and you are absolutely 100% correct I noticed that too when he put the power valve back together the centerpiece is open when the power valve is closed and it tips down when it's open which is opposite to what it's supposed to be the whole point of a power valve is to make the exhaust Port smaller on lower revs which makes the motor think that it has a shorter pipe on it then when you come up in RPMs it's like an automatic Port job it opens up the ports so it raises the port which would change your port at least two degrees if not more and opens the side auxiliary exhaust ports making the motor think it has a longer pipe on it giving it more power on top but the one thing people have an illusion that power valves give your bike more power that's not true what the power valves do is smooth out the power delivery so you don't have that light switch power band I have a 1982 CR250 Elsinore and an 88 CR250 and they both roughly have the same power but the 88 delivers that power so much smoother and giving you some more torque down low

Joe, Pay attention to these comments.

@@TheAwmartin seems he only listens to the people that know nothing and the people that are actually giving them the correct information to fix it he ignores I'm a licensed technician and do this stuff every single day just fix the Banshee today that would not idle on one cylinder the customer change spark plugs spark plug wires boots coils everything else brought it to me ended up being the idle air screw was screwed all the way in when it's supposed to be a turn and a half out adjusted that and the bike was fixed three other people looked at the bike before I did and never caught that sometimes you need to listen to people that know more than you do I've learned that in the past

It's a keihin pwk carburetor they don't have replaceable needle Jets you have to replace what's called the stick mixer and you have to have a special bit in order to remove it and they are quite expensive to replace they don't wear out like the mikuni carburetors do or the older keihin carburetors where the needle jet is replaceable

I watched several videos of other guys installing them and I went off of that.

Ew Suzuki?

What the hell is gad? And runnin? Do you mean Glad and running? Dumb ass

@@covidcrazy694 hahahaha he made funny spelling error time to shame

@@covidcrazy694 u like 5 or something?

@@covidcrazy694 what are you so mad for bro

That's not lean that's perfect
