i bought a kx 450f knowing the crank was shot, went back with reman crank and stock piston , to me it seems like it has no compression by the feel of the kick , timing is dead on and and I can kick it about 8 times it'll backfire give it a little gas and it just back fires less than 8 kicks , Any ideas ? I'm stumped also it only seems to be firing about every three kicks

What you are describing sounds like the cam timing is incorrect.

The valves never closing properly would certainly do it.
