Kfx 400

[zombie_1us]

I have a 2004 Kawasaki KFX 400 and it runs great until it gets warm. After that the ATV will not start unless I push the throttle all the way in and hold it. Please Help. If anyone has any info please e-mail me at zombie_1us@yahoo.com. i love riding but am very poor. Can't afford the dealer to fix.

People actually do this at 20 hours?

absolutly, one thing thats almost as important as chaning your oil filter and oil, is checking your valve specs every now and then, not everyone can adjust there own valves, some need shims, like the YFZ, so you have to get the right sizes and what not and not all the valves will have the same clearance and what not, over time the exhust valves sag some and have more clearance and the intake valves become tighter on most occations, so you may need to look into that
