so if you checked the wires, and no pulse you probably have to replace em.

generally, no pulse to injectores, means bad injector relay or PCM driver circuit

clean carburator

I take it that the water pump is gear driven from the engine. In that case you have caused a problem in that you have jammed something when you were putting it back together and this is locking the crank from moving.

you may need to remove the RHS cover to replace to oil seal as well

Take out the plug and make sure no more water in the cylinder, with an air gun dry everything from water,, remove air filter too

this is done via a bolt on the outside of the engine located on the head but i strongly urge you to go see a qualified motorcycle mechanic due to the fact that not doing this correctly will cause massive harm to the engine and if the chain falls off then you need to get the engine pulled apart and put back on which will cost you mega $$$$

There is a bendable tang washer that goes under the nut. From factory te nuts are extremely tight to get off. You need to put the lock washer underneath the nut, tighten it as tight as you can with a breaker bar then bend the washer in a couple of places over the flat sides of the nut to lock it for good.

Had similar problem with Honda 100HD, turned out to be carburettor float set too low causing fuel starvation on high revs

Yes, the problem is linked to compression getting past the rings. The pressure goes to the gearbox then some oil gets carried out of the box along with the compression. Too much oil in the gearbox makes the problem even worse. You shouldn't need pistons. Chances are the rings are just stuck in the piston ring grooves. Sometimes they can be freed up by the mechanic manipulating them. Often they break when manipulated. It all depends on how badly they are stuck. If a piston is badly scored it needs to be replaced. The scoring can stop the rings from sealing the cylinder. Do this; drain the oil then fill the box to the proper level. Wash the bike to rid it of previous oil spills. Now see if the problem returns after the washing. If the rings are stuck , the bike should be smoking as you start and ride it. Chances are that only the rings will need to be replaced. Any chance you can be there as the mechanic takes the cylinder off? A dishonest shop could bring you a badly scored piston and rings and say they came from your bike when in reality they came from another bike. They free up your rings and charge for new pistons and new rings as if they actually put them in.

Bes t double check with dealer but in 99% of bikes they go in with the springs facing away from each other - I am assuming you are meaning the oil and water seal that the impeller goes through??

Spray the front of your carb with starting fluid while the bike is ideling.Check the hose between the carb and head. I had the same problem with my 09 honda 250. It looked fine but it was weather cracked and sucking air directly into the head causin the idle to shoot up and stick. Spray it with starting fluid and see if the idle raises. if it does than you have a leak. You will need to replace that hose. 25- 35$

you need to get a new throttle cable, sorry

yes that is possible, and worth checking

well since i owned the 2007 i know this answer i wouldnt run anything under 91 octain and the better the gas is the better it runs if you run cheap gas it could backfire and pop alot more thats what mine did
hope this helps

make sure you are getting spark at the plug,
and check to make sure you are getting fuel to the carburator ( when in doubt - drop the bowl from the carb and check the float and seat for proper movement and fuel flow ).
next thing to check id to make sure the kill switch is working properly.
if you are still having troubles - please feel free to write me back here and I will do my best to walk you thru the steps needed to fix.

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

hi, the seal in the water pump has failed, carefull removal and examination of the impeller shaft, seals and bearing will determing the pump condition, only then will you know if it is cost efective to repaire or replace the pump, you will also have to remove old engine oil, replenish with new, hope this helps you, paul

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
