Cylinder head fitment

(1/2) > >>

sawfly:
Just picked up a KX500(1989) and the engine mount on the head is broken off. I've been told that '83-'04 are the same but during research I found the part numbers are different.
Will the other years fit or do i need to look for one '89-'04?
Can i weld it back together and re-drill/tap with no significant issues besides warping?

This is my first KX500 so any help is appreciated.

Foxx4Beaver:
I've seen heads welded before, and you could have yours welded and it would probably be ok...
I myself, would find another head, and save the other one as a spare...only because, that's just me.
if you decide to get another head, you'll need an '89-'04.

Larry Wiechman:
Can you post a photo of the broken part?
