[QUOTE="Scottysg, post: 200335, member: 3517"] I can't verify the piston is correctly installed. The arrow is facing the exhaust like it should be but I did not check ring end gap or location. but there is slight scoring on it that I can see after removing the reeds. its getting hot, bummer. I have tried all the combinations that the fmf chart, the kx riders chart, and the kx500 manual suggest. Nothing seems to have any effect on how the bike runs (i mean doesn't run) on top end, though changes in the pilot jet have a noticeable but minimal effect on pull from idle. Reeds are not tight at the edges. there is light coming through. I tried flipping them, but there is curve in the reed so that makes the gap even worse. [/QUOTE]
