srry i dont post more about my kdx on here it jsut never breaks down ;)
i have a 1986 klr 250 in the shop at the moment and it seems to be burning oil. a couple months ago it got sand in the cylinder and siezed all the rings so i cleanded them all up and reused them. it worked fine lots of compression and not burnt oil. anyway latly iv noticed that it would always burn a little oil but not much so i though it might be the valve seals. any idea how to check them without taking the whole valve assembly apart? the head and cylinder are off now. so recently i had the bike at the track and dirt got into the carb so i cleaned it and ran the thing and it filled the backyard with smoke! wayyy to much to be valve seals (from what iv read) so i looked at the rings on the piston and the oil scrapper has a lot less of a diameter than the compression rings. is taht normal?
any help? it ran great for a month or 2 after the sand got in and i jsut cleaned all the rings and valves
