Kips adjustment

Post by darket »

Hi im having problems with the kips links on my 1991 KR-1S .. the problem seems to be that either the left or right valve arm will open too far and end up either jamming the linkage or flipping itself around and end up facing the wrong way ??? .. i have checked the adjustment and i *think* a have it right .... any ideas ?
