The valves may need adjusting or jetting.

I thought a kx was a 2 stroke....2 strokes have adjustable valves?? 8)
-
its an f model, those are 4 stroke. sounds like it could be any number of things i would start with looking at the plug.
-
brand new plug in it. im also thinking it can be the jets or i need a valve adjustment
-
Is it running hotter? Sounds like altitude is leaning it out.

should be a difference from running it in pomona (where im from) up to el mirage.. i mean, is that altitude change going to affect the bike that much?

I wouldn't think so. Is it popping when you let of the throttle or all the time ?

Valves are too tight.
Shoulda bought a 2 stroke. 8)

its the pilot jet dirty if if the bike sat for any time the pilot jet gum up easy fix i just fixed one and i live in the high desert factory jets work fine up here
-
when i let the throttle out it pops.. and it wont idle up in the desert. but when im home it does idle..
-
Yeah carb would be my guess.the pop off the throttle sound to me like a lean pop. Just check the mixture an like someone else said check your jets if they are dirty they might cause that also

clean the carb thats what it is
-
If its one doing it when there's a elevation change I would think it'd the jetting.

Definately lean pop. Or you have an exhaust leak at the head. It's not going to hurt anything. If you have a fuel screw adjust it to richen it up a bit. Remember how much you turned it so you can put it back to where it was when you get home.

Oh didn't even think of an exhaust leak, yeah if it is a leak it can be fatal. You risk burning down a valve. But I am almost positive it is a fuel mixture issue
