well, i can fix cars, trucks, helicopters and more.. but not so much in the two wheeled fashion.. this is my problem. I have an 88 KX125. when i got it, it ran- correctly. It started great, ran great, although my only trip on it was brief due to the ice and snow. Anyway, after my first glorious trip, i returned the next day and couldn't get the bike to start.. i assumed it was out of gas because it was pretty low. more gas added... Finally after extensive kicking, the bike started,.. sounded good.. went to take off after it warmed up, and it died.. lunged a little, but had no power. hmm.. not good... tried several times more, and the same thing happened.. no go.. this went on, every few days, tinkering and testing,.. nothing worked.. until one day, i was kicking over and it backfired on me and the kick start kicked back at my foot... i thought that was odd.. kicked it again,... started like a champ. sounded better than ever. I put it into first and slowly let off the clutch,. ... and wouldn't you know it, i started going backwards!.. hmm.. that just doesn't seem right,.. i didn't know they had reverse...??... so anyway, i'm sure it's got to be timing,.. i figured it jumped a few teeth on the gears, but i've been informed that the timing is completely electrical... so i'm completely dumb to this.. If anyone could help me out in any way on this, that would be awesome. anything i could check to pinpoint the problem or if you are sure something is jacked up, i just need to know.. it's getting nice and the dirt is calling me... help if you can,.. many thanks, tony
