 Posted: 13:39 - 10 Jul 2015 Post subject: Kawasaki kmx 125 electronic problem |
 |
|
Hi to all again. Long time no post it here, but I came with problem. My bike broke up.
Everything happen than I was driving back home and my bike suddenly stopped (engine turned off). I tried to make it run again, but in kickstart or if I pushed in gear nothing happen. But I must say that if I tried to start with kickstart without gas and choke my bike for 3 seconds was running low rpm (1000 I think). ALSO, there is compression, kickstart move not easily, and also we tried to put finger on hole where spark plug sits , we can't hold finger.
I tried to clean carburettor, change new spark plug iridium, put it in cylinder some gasoline (no results). But bike have spark, blue I think, i put it spark near cylinder and few times tried to start engine, there was.
After some calls to dudes who repair motorcycles said that a lot of procents that cdi is broke up. This week I found information that I think almost the same problem happen like me to another guy who have kmx 125. He said that was something wrong with generator windings.
And also, kawasaki kmx 125 original cdi was LIMITER or not? Also how much I need to change piston and rings (in kilometers). And why we need to change piston, if I change only rings than compression will be again good, yes? So whats happen to piston? And about cylinder, after piston and rings rebuild don't need to do some kinda methods to prepare him or I don't know how to say in english .
I really counting on you guys. Need your wisdom what to do .
With best regards,
HardDriver.

Only when they are running though, which isn't as often as a four stroke!
You should really do a compression test, to make sure that what feels like enough compression is actually enough. You want to see 110-170psi approx.
Your problem does sound ignition related though, especially if the bike stopped suddenly when hot.
It's possible to have a faulty coil, or the windings breaking down with heat/age. It would be the second thing I would try after a new plug, if you have intermittent sparks. The HT lead is part of the coil so changing it eliminates the cap and lead too.
Piston and rings along with small end bearing and all gaskets should be replaced together, don't bother changing rings on their own, the piston wears more than the rings and so do the ring locating pegs etc.
After 16'000km maximum I would say to do this, but an abused motor might need a re-build sooner, and could seize at much less mileage especially if it's been overheated or messed with, or run on crap oil etc. |
