no help here kiddo since mine is a 99 model and those are slightly different
you can find an online manual here
http://www.cyclepedia.com/1989-1994-kdx200e/
it will still cost you 26.95 but it is probably your best bet

in the mean time, watch some youtube vids, there is bound to be something usefull up there

:roll: Sorry you didn't find all the info you need for free.

If you look back thru most all of the threads you will find that buying a manual is the fist thing anyone recommends. Especially for the routine stuff.

Trying to decipher the english it sounds like you have something not assembled correctly. As far as the manual and free info goes, you'll get plenty of it, but like all things in life, you get a better response from people when you do your homework first instead of begging for someone to hold your hand through it. For much of this work a manual is suggested, not because we are trying to sell manuals, but because there are things that can be missed or misquoted in postings, and the manual is the source of that info. And as always, you are responsible for whatever good or bad comes of taking advice from others.

Like I said in a earlier post I have a 250 and it has a totally different kips set up. You guys have it easy, when I have to mess with my kips its on the bottom of the cylinder. 250 manual is part 200 part 250 specific. i would follow the directions in the manual word for word , it all has to be done in order. That page is all the help I can give ya. Good luck.

lets not be too rough on the kid
i remember being his age and wrenching on my own, without the internet to connect me to more knowledgeable people and it could be very frustrating

lets try not to discourage him too much, he is trying to learn how to take care of his own stuff properly and isn't to proud to ask others for advice

sounds to me like he's on the right track

i might have one
and this i learned on my 96 so it might not even apply
but in the picture that RodAdams posted you see where both the valves have timing marks that need to line up with the gear shaft
when i did mine i found out you can lift the valves to somehwat hoover over the gear until it lines up
once it all lines up you jus let go off the gear and it falls right into place

the picture that is posted is obviously different from mine but it looks like at least the one on the left hand of the pic might be isntalled that way
