Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original

Need a 1988 KX 500 crankshaft

(1/2) > >>

Apoole6:
I recently purchased my second KX 500. It had issues when I bought it, he crank has side to side play which I know usually means a spun bearing or such.

I can't for the life of me find a crankshaft for an 88 model.

Any info on compatability,if anybody has one they could get rid of, or any suggestions on what I could possibly do to get this bike running would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Apoole6:
I have cash in hand and willing to pay top dollar for one if somebody has one.

sandblaster:
Yep... That crank is a one year only.
Here is some info that might help you..

Any year crank will  fit the 88   88-2004
86/87 u would also do but you would need the primary gear / nut / keyway
86 is heavier

U could weld/regrind the journals on your own crank

IT also could have spun the bearing in the cases

Apoole6:
Are you sure? Has anybody done this before? Just don't wanna dump more money and have it not work out. Thanks!
