tearin her down

(1/3) > >>

b0dem:
Well I need to replace my clutch, and possibly the top end. So let the tear down commence! still dont know what kind of clutch to get so any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Ive never replaced a clutch on a bike, or topend so I will be picking your brains like crazy.
wish me luck!

gowen:
Don't sweat either one. Clean the bike good, Grab a good service manual, drag in the TV, and a case of beer. The mix will make your time enjoyable. Replacing the clutch is a breeze. The top-end is also a breeze. Just remember, when removing the cylinder jug, don't twist it. :-) I've had so many friends twist the jugs on the way up. They all ended up with big bores after.

b0dem:
This morning i took some plastics, and the gas tank off. I also went to autozone and bought a compression tester, it tested 125 is this normal for the kx5?
here are some pics of what she looks like now.

b0dem:
When taking the tank off I noticed the break in the pipe mount. Think weld would hold it?
I plan on cleaning the hell out of it later this evening. I dont know where most of you live, but here in TN its over 100 today.  :oops:
