Bike is getting harder to start
Used 2003 KLX300R is getting harder to start and lower end power seems to be falling off. Assume it the valves as rattling sounds seems to get louder over time. Have been religous about oil & air filter change every 2-3 rides. If valves, is it something a newbie wants to tackle. Any tips I can use.
Tks,

Valves would be my first guess. Thereare some very informative threads on valve adjustments...just do a search. The service manual is almost a 'must have' for that type of work though.

I know that the valves being out will make it hard to start and wont even run right.... thats what my bike was doing and took it to the shop and they adjusted them and was good to go.
