<< < (2/3) > >>

sandblaster:
Here is the interchangeability on KX500 crank shafts
83-84 KX500
85-86 KX500
1987 KX500 ONLY
1988 KX500 ONLY
89-04 KX500

kwakman:
85 and 86 cranks are not the same....no p/valve drive on 85 crank, the 86 on bikes are all interchangeable, just that the earlier models have a different method of mounting the primary drive gear.....

sandblaster:
Hello.
Thanks for the correction.

My own personal records agree with what these 3 sites are providing.
If I am mistaken I stand corrected.

Speedway73:
The '85 and '86 cranks are the same. The KIPS governor is driven by the spur gear...which is also the same from '85 to '86.

kwakman:
my mistake.was thinking of the cases. :-o
however, dont get too hung up on part numbers.according to kawasaki, the 86 clutch bearing (discontinued) cannot be replaced by a later type bearing. but I assure you it can.same with pipes, rads and a host of other things.
