I have a 96 fc501 but the automatic decomp sometimes fail. Is there possible to get a manual decomp for this engine :?:

and if you get at manual one is it possible to pull it too hard so the valves
get smashed against the piston? 8O
 
Hi,

normally it shouldn´t be a big problem to add a hand deco.
If you look at your valve cover, there is a lever for the decomp which is activated by the kickstarter mechanism.
In up direction you can put another cable to this lever and fix an additional lever to your handle bar.
If you want to, you can change your whole clutchlever (attachment) and replace it with a KTM part. The LC4 had clutch and decomp lever at one attachment. That´s nicer. Maybe you get a used one for little money.

PS: I can´t imagine that you could pull the decomp lever that much to push the exhaust valves into the piston....
 
I justed ordered the manual handlebar decompression lever a cable fro my 1998 FC501 from Dan at Motoxotica. Give him a call 707-446-4282.
They are very nice and willing to help.

on the 400 it still misses the piston by 5mm. so if the piston has 'valve cut-outs' i'd say no chance of contact at all.
