Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
What do you want; But, you can't get?
mikesmith:
Destry Abbott had a custom made one (clutch cover)so it can be done,but I dont think he uses it any-more.
teamgreen500:
I'll ask John at Kawi...I think they make them in-house or have'em done. I'll find out and post.
Anther-thing...Team Green removes and fills the oil window that's in the side-cover.

Paul:
That thing is completely useless. I have a couple friends that have fried clutches because they thought the little metal tits in there is where the oil level is supposed to be :oops:

The only other thing you have to be careful with on the tripple clamp swap is the steering stem diameter. I found (by accident) that while the tripple clamp fork diameter was the same, the KX250 had a larger steering stem than the KX500, about 21 thousands to be exact. My solution? Purchased a small length of 10 thousands shim stock, shaped it into a circle around the outside of a socket, and tapped it into the tripple clamps stem hole after the tripple clamp was installed. The fit was perfect.
