Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Looking for a KX 500 1991 bottom end
Coco Cola:
Found a very clapped out kx 500 on craiglist.
Due to the inclement weather, missed seeing a bowling ball sized whole at the bottom of the crankcase. (Yes, i'm a jack ass)
Trying to do a budget rebuild, and need a 1991 kx 500 bottom end.
Do I just scour ebay????

give Sandblaster a shout...
if he can't help, e-bay will be your next option, unless someone else here can help....just make sure you get good clear pics from sellers, and have them mic the bearing journals before making any commitments.
I see case halves on e-bay all the time...just don't rush into the 1st ones you see without verifying their condition with the seller.
Coco Cola:
Thank you Foxx.
sandblaster:
Thanks Foxx but I'm out...
It's getting VERY hard to find good bottom ends.
Nearly everything we get is sold as being in good condition.
But, just as often we find they are ready for a complete overhaul.
And good parts are getting really hard to come by.
If you do find a seller that knows what they are looking at, they will likely know what a good crank, cases, and transmission are going for.
Watch eBay and pay with PayPal.
If you find damage that is not described in the ad then you will eventually be able to get all your money back.

I have had several cases with various types of holes welded up. It would have to be pretty bad to just junk it. Post a pic of the hole.
