You have to open any bleeder valve firstThen you slowly push out the air & brake fluidThere is never any pumping to be done on a caror any product in order to bleed any fluid.All your doing is getting out the airThen when the system is closed there is no pumpingto create a high hydraulic pressure ,just a gentle applicationof the brake or clutch

Suck it out with a hose ... remove the tank and dump it ... pump it with a pump ... draw it out with a turkey baster. This isn\'t difficult.

mine is good at 3 to 3-1/2 turns out from gently seated.dale

"Helicoil" and "keensert" are thread inserts that can repair that stripped hole as long as there is room around the hole for the thread repair insert. "helicoil" takes the less amound of room. Most auto part stores have thread repair kits, all you need to know is the original thread size or bolt.

It sounds like the needle & seat in the carb float chamber is stuck open. Take out the needle attached to the float and clean and blow the jet out. Replace needle and check when you lift the float if the needle closes. Before you reassemble, attache the fuel pipe and see if the fuel still runs out when you lift the float and the needle closes.

probably not cooing out the oil filter, possibly coming out the water pump telltale hole, to let you know it needs a new water pump seal

Changing the kick shaft seal is pretty easy, and you might be able to do it without taking the cover off. Remove the kick starter. Get 2 wood screws that will fit in the seal. Drive one wood screw thru the seal, don't go too deep and hit the case underneath. Drive the other screw exactly opposite. Get a pliers in each hand and pull it out. If the screws pull out, move around the seal and try it again.
Grease the inside lip of the new seal before installing. Find a deep well socket close to the same diameter or slightly larger-this will prevent you from drivng it too deep in the case. Install seal over the shaft and using the socket and a rubber hammer, lightly tap it into place flush with the case. Install kick lever and your riding. Good luck!

Run back through your ignition to start with. I would suggest removing the tank so you can gain access to the wiring in and around the coil etc. Check all the wire connectors, i have had this problem before, where a wire looks connected but after a wiggle, will pull free. Check also the connection to the CDI unit, unplug it and if needs be a little blast into the connector (wire side) with WD40 or the like, just to make sure. Put it all back together again. I would also change the plug itself to one you know works. Failing that, coil pack, nackered CDI unit, broken plug cap, nackered ingition module on crank.

Its a process of elimination my friend. Hope this helps.

Hi,,,if you have drained the carb bowl to be sure there is fuel in the carb,,put a little fuel in the sparkplug hole,,and give it a few kicks,,,,if it dosnt want to start,,then yes i would look at the timing to make sure its lined up.

good luck

Are you certain your choke enricher cable is actually working ....sounds like the carb is too lean for a cold start, usually the choke richens mixture till engine warms and can tolerate normal mixture.

You have on the side of the carburator screws, usually flat head. You need to turn them to adjust idle speed and richnes of fuel. See the picture below. Hope i helped.

Bills pipes usa do an excellent pipe for this bike.

free manuals are a myth, illegal to replicate

This is likely to be an air leak at the carb or manifold. The leak would thin the fuel/air mixture and account for the problem. Tighten every screw and bolt in the carb / manifold area. With a little luck this may fix the problem.

Going into neutral has nothing to do with the oil. First, make sure the shifter lever isn't down too far. not allowing it to "return" after a shift.

From an 05 kxf, intakes are +/- .005 and exhaust is +/- .008..... They should be the same with 06 to 09.

Check your air cleaner ,and try new plug

check valve clearances

check you timing could be slightly out and firing too late igniting unburnt fuel in the silencer pipes .

check the mixture and check carb manifold boots , they could be leaking air. this would also change the air fuel mixture
