I found this on ebay. I messaged the seller to send me more pictures and ask more about the condition.

Edit: Wait that's not a case half! Much easier to swap out! Something flexed or whacked it pretty hard!

Trying to keep busy while I'm waiting to hear back from the ebay seller.

I got my air filters washed out. The second one is much larger than the one that came off my bike. It was in a box of spare parts I got when I bought it. I actually have a whole air box too but it's different than the one on my kdx. Maybe an h series? Image

I also started to clean up some of the other pieces before I reinstall them.

Image

After.

Replaced the seals in that cover too.
Might start putting the valves and studs back in the topend.

Thanks for the continued thread and pics / info.

On the air filters, the same air filter is used for 1989 - 1994 KDX200, 1995 - 2006 KDX200 and 1997 - 2005 KDX220R.

What did you use to clean up the outer clutch cover?

Buy a new soft bristle toothbrush and use some Dawn detergent and water on the seat cover to try to clean it up some.

I got a cotton polishing pad for my dremmel with different grits. Soap and water. Blow dry with compressed air then oil the bearing for the clutch rod.

Can someone help out with explaining kips valve reassembly and timing. Because the manual has me very confused and it does not work the way they want you to do it.

A lot of it is in putting them in, sliding the rack, and figuring it out. For me the hard part was getting the center valve properly aligned.

Thats exactly where I'm at. When I pull the rod all the way out in what position is that center valve supposed to be in? Image like this? Or closed Image

The valve should be fully open when the rod is fully extended.

Yeah, looks right. Look in the exhaust and verify everything is right when extended

So I figured I'd start assembling what I can while I wait for the inner clutch cover to come in. I did order that one off ebay even though I did not hear back from the seller. Trying to keep this project moving despite the many road blocks. Image

There's my very clean and nice looking topend. Was considering painting it something glossy to protect the porous nature of it and make it easier to clean but I'm not sure.

I cleaned up my studs a little before putting them back in. I noticed there's one that's shorter and different than the others. But I figured out it goes in the center position. Image

Image

Then here is my dirty bag of kips valves. All caked with carbon.
Image
Image

Started cleaning up the valves

Jason I took your advise and cleaned up my seat cover. Came out nice.
Image

Finally I scrubbed all my muffler parts with soap and water rinsed and then let them soak in soap and water overnight. Image

Ok first off about the kips valves. It seems to me they are working properly. They all spin. However. They were not hooked up so they werent working. When i took off the cover on the kickstarter side to get at the rod and such this fell into my hand. Image
Not the arm but the circular thing. It seems there should have been a circlip on the end of the rod that goes into the head. So that when the arm swings out it could pull that rod out. But that wasnt happening.

Image
Heres a closeup of that rod i was talking about. The second circlip was gone.

So theres that. Now on to the bad and the ugly.
Now if you guys remember this post from when I first took the bike apart. I need to get those circlips.

Image I picked it up and installed

Image

The overnight soak in dawn did nothing for the silencer parts. The manual suggests oven cleaner for the really baked on parts. And these are really bad.

Image

Image

Image

I cleaned off some off the easy to get to stuff with the wire wheel. It looks like one of the pieces is broken and missing some pieces. I'm not really sure because idk what it was supposed to look like. Image

Image

I also painted my clutch and flywheel covers. Going for something a little different. Image
