if you don't have a case saver on your bike, you may want to get one(they are cheap protection). a broken chain can destroy a case when it piles up in front of the front sprocket. just something to think about.  MADDOGGY

Where can i find a case saver?

maddoggy:
4x4max, keep an eye on kx500 products on ebay. the case savers show up on there quite a bit. they usually cost between $5-$10. there are also different sizes depending on the tooth number of the front sprocket. most guys run a 14 or 15, some guys run a 13 but run into case rubbing problems. you could probably find a picture of one in the gallery section. if you're handy with the tools you could probably make one fairly easily.   8-)MADDOGGY
