220R KIPS Cleaning

Post by NewfieBullet69 »

Doing a winter refresh on the old girl (Can still get out on sled where I live :sad: ). I opened up my KIPS cover and it is severely gummed up. Probably my own fault for transitioning from a KX and using the same gas mix. Just wondering if anyone can point me to a good tutorial on taking apart and cleaning the KIPS as this is an area I have 0 experience in. I have the motor out of the bike and I'm ready for any tear-down required. The more tear-down the merrier really, as it will keep me occupied during isolation lol. I tried using the search function and I couldn't find what I was looking for.

The shop manual is about the best resource you could possibly have.

Yah, looks like I'm going to have to buy it. Can't find anything else online.
