A few more

bob larry:
Well I talked to the local Kawi shop and they can send out my Jug for $350 and they ordered me a top end and gaskets. 
Service guy said to just leave the bottom end if it was idleing good and started good.   Opening that up and I'll need one thing after another........

It did idle and start good.  Should I just clean the bottom the best I can a put a new top end on it?

blueoval:
Did you do a vacuum test on the motor prior to tearing the top end down?

bob larry:
No I was dieing to see the jug inside.....I ordered some parts to build one but they will be a few more day before I get the gauge...And I have to find someplace in Ontario that sells the plugs.....Workn on it I guess you could say.

snoopjonnyjon:
Starting and idling good do not mean the crank seals are necessarily still fine. My bike always started excellent, and ran perfectly, but when I tore it apart I could see the left seal was weaping behind the stator.
