I removed mine just for peace of mind (not wanting risk of the it breaking pieces off)

 

I never messed with mine! It's in there, .... somewhere!

 

some of mine is on my desk.....also in a bin at work.........lets not forget the belt sander at work....and the rest changed dimensions

 

Don't let him work you up Mark. When I did the mod as you recommend I have faith that I will have no problems with it. What you can't control is what someone else used metal wise and how they formed it and try to lay fault on you in the end. We all as tinkerers of these things need to take some responsibility for any mods we make good or bad.

 

I am not saying never to wire the KACR. This thread was more intended as an maybe keep an eye on the wire as time goes.

I removed mine since it had alot of wiggle in it and did not move perfectly. (and was a bit noisy)

 

I agree, don't let that guy get you worked up. Some of us like your idea and have great faith in our coat hangers (etc)..

I like piano wire - Hey, if it's good enough for a piano, it's good enough for my exhaust cam..


Right ?

 

So if I'm understanding this correctly this KACR mod is to address difficulty in starting?

 

Hey buddy ! Long time no see.,, What's up with ya and your bike(s)..

WIth the MCM and a stock KACR, hot starting is nearly impossible. The spring keeps the device retracted at electric starter RPM's ONLY . The device is "fully expanded" at all other times (when the engine is running). Pulling off the spring simply allows full expansion at starter speeds to occur as well - effectively deactivating the device..

The other non-psychotic solutions are to remove, reposition, and reinstall the device (As I did) - or just remove it..

 

How have you been KLXster, been way to long! I've been playing a lot with my Husky's on the trails with my boys, but did turn our KLX into a Super Moto. Finally got around to building a wheel set for it. As you know I'm running it lidless with the DJ0228 needle, which was a game changer buy haven't gotten around to the MCM just yet. Just starting to familiarize myself with it and came across this thread. It makes sense what you saying regarding the KACR. Punching it out doesn't seem to bad... coat hangers really? Super Moto turned out pretty good?

 

Oh man,, love that SM of yours.. As long as you are going to run the stock header, you really SHOULD do-up the MCM on that bike - It'll become a TRQ monster wheelie machine !
