Post by Kawaman »

I have a 1996 kdx 200
OK so the main valve has a bar going through it that has a nut on one end and two gears on the other I can't figure out how to get the nut off if I loosen it I'm worried I'll snap the teeth off the other two Rods sorry I don't know any of there names any tips would be appreciated

Mine came off pretty easy, but I read on here to get a rag and wrap over the gear and then hold it with a pair of pliers while removing the nut.

Check the other end to make sure this part wasn't damaged or bent:
