2003 kawasaki KX 125 - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The cylinder head has tightning torques in 2 stages. stage 1 . 12~14 Nm stage 2. 24~ 29 Nm. glad to help out, Blue angel.

You may have a problem with your reeds.If you have done a rebuild because something internally has destroyed itself then the chances of those loose metal fragments chipping or cracking a reed are quite high.Pull the reed block and check it out and replace if neccesary.Other than that i can only presume a problem with the rebuild.hope i've given you some direction Armstrong.....Good luck with it .

22 foot pounds.

Below is your VIN, de-coded. Please rate my answer. Thanks!

The bike will actually be running leaner at 32:1, than at 40:1.

You need to put 250 ml to 300 ml

Regards

It should have a #370A main jet in it. The pilot jet should be a #35. The jet needle should be a #R-2. The throttle screw setting is one and one half turns outward from a LIGHTLY seated position.

Its cost differently in other areas but you can be looking around $400 or better.

Your best bet would be to take the VIN down to your nearest dealer. They can tel what year it is and either show you a diagram or sell you a manual. Good luck hope this helps.

The float needle is stuck open and not shutting off the gas. Lightly tap on the bowl with a screwdriver handle and it may stop. If it doesn't then remove bowl and clean the float needle and seat.

The float in the carb is stuck open. Remove and clean the carb(s) inside and out. Babbitts has the parts diagrams of many ATVs and motorcycles also. You didn't say what brand your ATV is so check the site and see if it is one that Babbitts handles.

Go to the site below where you can see a parts diagram for your specific bike. You will select the actual brand, year, model, etc., once you go to the site. Part numbers and prices are also shown.

In the event no price is shown on a particular part and/or the notation "Not Available" is in the description, the part is not in stock. www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrandand/parts.aspx

What wiring. The only wiring is for spark.

depends on how much you took apart but this link gives a pretty good assembly instruction if you are just trying to get the rotor back between the pads just insert a flat blade screwdriver between the pads and slowly pry them apart being careful not to chip or gouge the pads
