Kawasaki KLX300 Secondary Throttle Plate Removal How To / DIY

[@Scoottoots]

Just a heads up, the screws used on all Japanese bikes are not Phillips head, they are JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard). I see you mention JIS in the description, but the driver you used that worked for you was not a JIS driver. A phillips driver like that can be hit & miss. Going forward it's much safer to use proper JIS drivers. Vessel JIS drivers are popular. For tight spots like that you can also get driver bits for use with a socket wrench.

Thanks for the insight, I actually tried multiple JIS bits with a socket wrench first, and that did not work. The little cheap screwdriver I showed had a ton of bite and got the mangled screw out. Thanks for the clarification though.

Question is why do you remove it? I presume it's the choke plate? Without it, your choke wont work. I've done tests, and so long the carburetor is the right size, removing the plate does not increase performance at all. It might only improve top speed on indersized carburetors.

this is not carburated, is fuel injected
