thanks, that clears things up a bit.  i see how the whole mess works.

I have heard that KDXs have something called the KIPS rattle. Not really sure what it is though. Id imagine that the KXs would make a similar noise since the KIPS valve setup is very similar.

Well, if the back side of your clutch basket looks like Torche's, then you might want to check your parts breakdown in your manual or online. Looks like your missing a spacer, thrust washer, ect. That artwork is definetly not supposed to be there...

I forgot to mention that my pic is of an '87 KX500. I'm sure your's is set up the same way, just smaller parts.

This is in regards to the spacer/oil seal question i had earlier.  I played around with it a bit and noticed the oil was not leaking out through the seal but around the oring.  i replaced the o-ring and it still is leaking.  I am thinking maybe the sprocket or spacer or C clip is worn so it does not provide enough pressure to push the spacer against the o-ring to avoid leaking.  The sprocket has a lot of play.  I put a washer in there to stop some of the play and provide a better fit.  My question is, how much play should the drive sprocket have on the drive shaft back and forth and clockwise/counterclockwise?  And, should the spacer be turning with the drive sprocket?  Mine was not turning all the time with the drive sprocket since it was a loose fit.  It turns now with the washer.  I just don't want to go running around with the washer if it might hurt something.  I will wait for a reply before doing so.

Thanks,
Stang
