Rebuilding 5 hunny ???s

I think you'll have to go to a motorcycle shop. Don't think any auto parts stores will carry. However, if you find it at an auto parts store, let us know which one...we might all be able to save some money.

Still rebuilding...
Anyone know if there KX has a spacer washer under the kickstarter idler and or on the opposite end of the output shaft. I putting this beast back together and have two very thin spacer washer leftover. These washers can only fit on a limited number of shafts. I thought the one went on the idler gear but with the circlip in place the gear is too tight. Parts diagram on Kaw website doesn't show either but I know they were there.

Excellent description. I understand perfectly but that's not how mine is or was and it doesn't show that on the Kaw website. Mine (94) was (outside in)...circlip, gear, washer, circlip, bearing. At least I think there was a washer there. I'm almost sure. I replaced the bearing and the circlip and now if I use the washer the circlip makes the gear too tight. The problem is if the shaft has any movement when the the cases are together the gear will rub the case. If I push against the output from left to right there isn't a problem. That shaft has a another very thin washer on the output side of the shaft against the bearing. None of which is shown on the Kaw website.
