Hi, thnks for the advice, Ive sent the piston with the barrel to the platers so I assume that's gonna end up with the right gaP around the piston because had heard that the forged came up a little tight, gasket wise I have chosen and purchased genuine Kawasaki? Should these be ok or would you suggest trying to sort cometic over here as through all of my searching I've never come across or noticed them? Crank seals should only be just over 2 years as it was a brand new motor in 2010 and have only covered 40 hrs ish Its not been ridden hard in the slightest general novice mx never ran for more than 20 minutes at a time and well maintained on best premix I can find usually putoline mx9 Esther tech.

Just from interest how hard is it to check / replace the crank seals?

cmotodad:
Do all year K5's need a case split to do crank seals? My 89 has lips on the outside of the seals to make sure they stay in place.
