hello all i'm new to the site here. back to the dirt after long hiatus. been on the street for a couple years. dirt bike-93 KX 250. last bike was 89 KX 80 big wheel back in 94. i missed the 2 strokes bad. had to get back into it. anyway my problem is that just after the powerband hits there is a hole for a sec then it comes back on but not hard like it should. really there shouldn't be a hole there at all. i want a powerband hit that i can rap out. i basically have to shift early to keep the power on. would you guys consider this to be worn out reeds?? anyhow, anything helps. i do plan a top end rebuild as well as replacing all gaskets. because of a little fluid leakage. thanks for the help all.
