Just remove your fuel filter and it will drain your gas.

Y ou F ed up big time with the shim. Try flushing the crankcase with the drain open and use a magnet or magnetize a peice of metal wire and try to fish it out if not you will have to split the cases. The rest is no big deal as long as you know where # 1 cylinder is and the cams are installed so the valves work you set up on # 1 and every should fall into place. good luck

its just your bike dude cause i have a buddy that has a kx100 and his idles but mine dont and it should and ive asked many people and the only thing they say its my bike

It sounds more like a shifting fork when i raced i had to do 2nd 3rd twice a year check to see if you have half moon ware pattern on the fork thats how you can tell if its bent

How's the spark plugs condition?

You should be safe using any major brand 20w-50 motorcycle oil.

It sounds like you have bent the gear shaft.
Remove the right hand side engine cover, and probably the clutch as well. The gear shaft can then be unhooked from the selecter drum and pushed out,(the shaft goes right through the engine), this may be dificult if the gear stick end is very bent,when its removed dont try to straighten it, get a new one, and a new seal and rhs gasket. 2006 ?probably old enough to fit a new water pump seal while the cover is off

VALVES need to be adjusted it propbably pops and back fires when running too

straight up the answer is no (within reason)

could be the coil.

Hi
Sounds like a broken piston ring, & now its embedded itself into the piston & / or barrel
Remove exhaust pipe & shine a light up into barrel / piston to inspect !!

Ride safe

Please mark this as very helpful (if it has been!!) - it helps my ratings

you need to check throttle body and carbeurator. clean carbs. check your oil and check that your battery is holding a charge. has the bike been sitting for awihle? gas might be bad so replace it.

hi,you are quite correct,it will be the seal behind the impellor,kawasaki and suzuki are famous for it,simply undo the nut holding the impeller on,remove the impeller,you will have to pry the seal out,when replacing the seal use a "loctite type"sealing compound to reseat the seal,hope thjis helps...cheers

hi

this link will take you to a discussion about the exact problem your having and discusses the valve clearence your going on about so have a look at that site.

Have you double checked all the little seals in the carb as one of these neing split can cause the problem your having so this would be worth having a look at

click here
this second site also discusses the same issue with the valves.

Im trying to locate a workshop manual for you to down load so have a look at those to sites for now and then let me know how you get on ok

have a compreshion test done on the engine first if its good say upto150psi look for a fule problem and a new set of plugs wont hert it chech that the air fillter is clean

There is a good diagram on a website, just look up the year and make, go to body and fenders.

mine had the same problem,,, just pop out the hood,,and you will find two orange boxes,,,one is for the cooling fan i dont remember wich one is,,,and inside the box ,you will find,two fuses (one is the spear)and just replace ,,the blow fuse for the spear one,,,,,(sorry bad english) ,,,

Your bike has a computerized ignition module or AC-CDI. I suspect the storage of you bike may have allowed the battery to discharge below the minimum voltage required for the ignition module to function. Charge the battery and also drain a small amount of gas from the bottom of the carb(s). Note whether there is free flow of gas from the tank to refill the carb bowl(s).

Take the fuel line loose at the carborator and drain into a can. Or you can shut the gas valve off and remove the tank and drain it by turning it over

have you had the valve lash set recently? if you ride hard or race you should check this every 3-4 rides.. if valve lash is within spec, you may be hearing the fly weights for the decomp. system, this is fairly normal..if it is bothersome to you, replace the fly weights & springs if the parts are available, if not you may haveto replace the complete cam.
