Description: KLX250 valve clearances

G'day all

I've just bought a KLX250 and am looking for any maintenance tips and in particular the specs and procedure for valve clearance adjustment.

Is there a site with info specific to the KLX250?

Regards,

Toddy. Sth. Aust.

I posted this on another thread, maybe this one is the right one.


My brother bought a 1984 gpz900 off ebay. The carbs were gummed up and after 3 removals, clean outs, and installs, i found where the trash was comming from. The previous owner had creamed the tank...but with out proper prep and didn't drain off surplus resulting in large chunks of cream material seperating dut to the mass/weight and the rust behind it. With alot of time and a mini vac, I was able to get the cream junk out and cleaned the tank multiple times and finally got the carbs cleaned.

We had a great day ride and the bike seemed to be working great. The next day, it would hardly start, and would'nt stay running. The carbs are clean.

I don't think it's getting good spark. With a plug out and resting on the head, the spark is so faint, it's barely visable. The previous owner had rewired the coils and all the wires are blue...well the were blue until he sprayed the entire frame with black paint...tracing wires is a challenge to say the least.

Im' not great with electrical stuff, so I'm sort of at a loss.

Any body got any ideas?

I look forward to this forum and hopefully meeting some of you in the future.
