Kx500 kickstart idler gear bushing

(1/1)

Wilde1yamaha:
Hey guys took apart my 1990 kx500 to get the clutch cover rewelded and noticed the kickstart idler gear bushing is shot!!! Anyone know where I can get one??

sandblaster:
Send yours to Tom Morgan Racing for a new bushing.
All you will likely find on the used market is the same worn out part you already own.

Dad of Alf:
Hello,
What are the tolerances on this bush please. Mine too has a lot of play. I can make one and fit it. I guess the question is how much wobble should there be, or should it be a wobble free spin fit ?
Thanks all

sandblaster:
None are published that I am aware of.
I measure the shaft and use +.001/-.000

Wilde1yamaha:
Hey guys so I sent my gears to Tom Morgan to get a bushing machined. The 1990 gear was quite wobbly and the 1988 I have was really bad
