[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 209930, member: 3959"] I got those reeds coming, along with a set of front and rear wheel bearings, a master link for my new chain and sprockets. Just put on a new front tire today. I'm thinking the reeds make good sense, especially after Andy mentioned the mixture getting pushed back into the intake, the wetness I found at the boot (I initially just assumed it was from fuel spilling when I removed the carb), and the less than ideal compression numbers. I haven't removed or inspected the reeds that are in it yet, but I'm expecting them to be stock, and since I got the new top-end gasket kit (that Big Dan recommended) I figure a set of Boyesen reeds are in order when I tear it down. I'm also feeling fairly good about the condition of the plug and the piston recently. I should have her back in running condition by Wednesday, I'll report back then. Until then I'm gonna continue working on the KLX, got a new clutch perch coming for that too. Then after that it's the KX, the Magna, the Shadow...at least the two XR's run flawlessly and are 100% reliable. [/QUOTE]
