[QUOTE="dansavage, post: 1326763, member: 93169"] I may be a bit off here, but I purchased a kdx 220 that an older gentleman had, rode a few times, and then garaged for several years. I'm guessing that he burned maybe a tank and a half of a gas in the bike - total. When I first got it, the kips made no noise whatsoever, now that I've burned 5-6 tanks through it, it rattles at idle then goes away above idle. My bike still has the supposed 'suspect' stock piston in it, which I'm going to swap out in the next few weekends. I'm not a kips expert, but it seems to me if the bike is idling or running for that matter, there would be pressure on the kips valves, thus they shouldn't rattle? I'll inspect/clean mine when I have it down then reassemble accordingly. I'm new to the kdx world, sounds to me like kips is okay if you have the rattle at idle, and not ok if you don't have the infamous noise at idle??? [/QUOTE]
