[QUOTE="Elias123, post: 229855, member: 5456"] Hi, I just bought a used [URL='https://thumpertalk.com/link/click/4926/']KTM[/URL] 525exc 2005. Sort of a beginner when it comes to dirt bike engine issues especially with a 4 stroke. The bike runs and rides okay but I have trouble starting it as it just has way too much compression, and some times I even feel like I'm chipping off kickstarter teeth. I'm not sure whether its the valves, decompressor, cam timing, or anything else it could possible be. Can someone please help me out as I'm really lost on what to do and local shops are quoting over $200 just to have a look!! I've tried tightening the intake and exhaust valves to see if it would make a difference and is barely noticeable. [/QUOTE]
