Awesome. I'll put that to use sometime. Always hearing about modern 4T's needing checking/adjustment but I never had a good hands-on explanation! -BIG DAN

You can only roost in the threads and not the actual articles.

Sweet. I am very interested in part two. That doesn't look that hard to check.
I have heard that there are different designs are far as adjusting, "turning a screw", shims and maybe one more. I'm interesting in hearing about all methods of adjustment

Hey that was great bizz on how to adjust the valves on that kx. How often do you need to do this however?

The manual suggests checking the valves every 6 races/15 hours, only adjust if needed and don't do it more then what's really necessary.

I don't think I've checked mine in over 30 hours.

Oh I dont know the history on the bike. I've owned it about a month. Its completley torn apart cause a 4 wheerler hit me and bent the frame. Figure it'd be a good time to go through everything on the bike. Any suggestions???

Hey I figured out how to load pics. Ha ha. Anywho, thats the bike stripped down. It's even more apart now. whooo hooo!
