'86 KX500 and Milk in the Tranny... And Hello!

<< < (4/6) > >>

Erwin8r:
Wow. Thanks, guys!  A community like this makes me want to run out and pick up a kx5!  Been thinking about a replacement bike anyway.

I'll post progress reports/ pics as I pull the clutch cover off and replace the seal.

Regarding that "iron ring" mod above, would jb weld be a suitable replacement for that loctite stuff, or should I stick the the loctite? 

Lawnmowerman:
JB weld is fine.

Thanks, Friar, Snoop, guys.  Got the cover off yesterday (I know, should be simple, but weekends have been busy lately!  LOL).

Ugly, milky stuff!  Yuck!    The clutch basket is definitely NOT billet.  Nothing else looks untoward.  The oil seal looks ok, but the bearings on the impeller seem rough--and there was some "stuff" on the seal, so it probably is the culprit.  I'm ordering the seal, bearings, and gaskets from Bike Bandit.  Aside from this, and the JB weld job, anything else I shiold do before I button her up?

Thanks again!



Yuck!!!



Almost 500cc's... ;)

Friar-Tuck:
 Take your time getting the kicker lined up and installed correctly, you may have to wiggle the tranny to get all the gears lined up.  It doesn't take too awful much to push the cover on once everything is lined up.
   You'll be fine E,
 Good luck!
