Help!!! Upper Pipe Mount Broke Again.
machine:
That would be great Hughes!
Thanks man!!!
demographic:
--- Quote from: GDubb ---Do all KX5's have this problem or do you guys have similar years or maybe older models? Seems like if it was a big problem then Kawi wouldve caught on to it and maybe corrected it on later models... I'm just curious to know for my own personal knowledge.

They all seem to do it, one cure is to use the Zipty kit Tank/shrouds and expansion chamber combo shich doesn't even use the top pipe mount anyway :D
Expensive though :(
machine:
I just welded it AGAIN!
I'm going riding the weekend, so that's what has to work for now.
Then I was thinking of making the bar that runs from the uper mount
to the pipe out of a thermo platic like Nylitron, Ryton, or Nylitron GS.
And keeping the rubber in there as well.
Might be wroth a try???
Don't have much to lose I guess???
GDubb:
