Hi guys
Last night I noticed that my kmx wouldn't idle properly and the powervalve sounded like it was red lining through and I got told it was the spark plug? so today I decided that I would go to the mechanic to get a new plug and some advice. I kicked my bike over and it started but died straight away, so I started it with some choke and it died again, I then went to kick it again and the kick start lever went really stiff and made this horrible grinding noise as it was kicked? any ideas? I'm not very good with this stuff :/

Thanks

 

I would have to say, place your kmx on the trailer and haul it over to your mechanic.

You could pull the plug for inspection, but like you mentioned, it needs some mechanic time. Bummer, but let us know on the outcome

 

Turns out, the guy that rebuilt it before put the wrong spark in there, causing it to get to hot causing more explosion, taking chips out of the top of the piston forcing them down to the crank :/ but good news! everything is getting replaced and is on order!

 

thanks for the update, and congrats on minimal damage to the ride.
