[QUOTE="JamesKX250, post: 133521, member: 1290"] Hello I just picked up my first bike 1998 KX250 2Smoker :) I rode a crotch rocket about 7-8 years ago for very short time and it was just too dangerous for my crazy self, so I had to get rid of it. I been wanting another bike for a long time so I decided something little less dangerous (I hope), I don't plan on doing anything crazy with this KX, just some trail riding in the Northern Michigan with some buddies. Bike was somewhat rebuilt by the previews owner, it runs strong but he did tell me that the KIPS - exhaust valve system will need to be cleaned (starts to bog a little in the high power band) which is a bitch to get to, I have to pull the whole top end apart. I got two manuals for the bike and have read them both, watched bunch of you tube videos and been looking at these forums for past couple weeks trying to decide if I should take on the project my self or take it to the shop?[IMG]http://tinypic.com/r/334t5rp/4[/IMG] I am kind of jack of all trades but I have never worked on any bike. I was thinking about ordering a new WISECO piston and new gasket kit for the top end see where it takes me... What do the pros think?
