kix500:
Yeah so i was out rideing my 97 kx500 :-D when wham it locked up tight  :-ojust about through me over the bars, luckily i was just starting to climb a hill and was in 1st. i thought for sure i seized it up but i was wrong :cry: i picked it up off the ground. and tried to push it woud'nt roll so i reach down to put it in to nuetrol and oh crap :? thats when i noticed it. my front sprocket split right in half and stripped every single spline off of my output shaft. i was ticked :x. so i pryed and pulled till i got the pieces of the sprocket out of the chainnd pushed it bout 1 mile back home :-P. so now i need to know if anybody has an output shaft that will fit a 97 kx 5 i don't really want to go through a stealership 140$ wich aint bad but money is tight.

so does anyone know were to find a shaft or used one for a little cheaper??

thanks  :cry: :x
