kx500 Engine WHAT YEAR IS IT?

<< < (2/2)

Speedway73:
'86-'87. Bolt on water fitting on the head = the heads from newer years won't interchange. Got the wrong partial ignition on it too. Should have an external flywheel...not an internal rotor. Also....looks like a front sprocket held on by a nut= '88+ were held on by an external circlip.

BacK.IN.THE.DaY:
THANKS SPEEDWAY 73

yes the sprocket is held on with a nut

THIS IS A PVL IGNITION.THE STATOR AND STATOR PLATE ARE TRASHED
I WAS GOING TO BUY THIS OF EBAY. PLEASE TYPE IN EBAY SEARCH BAR  ( 150364780337 )
I HAVE THE ROTOR AND STM ELECTRONICA CDI AND I SPOKE TO THE GUY FROM EBAY. WHO SAID HE MADE THIS BACK IN 97. HE ASKED ME TO SEND IN MY CDI AND STATOR AND STATOR PLATE TO HIM. AND HE ASKED ME TO SEND DETAILS SO HE CAN MAKE IT UP WITH A TIMMING MARK ON THE TEST RIG :-D

PISTON TRAVEL IN mm BEFORE T.D.C TOP DEAD CENTRE DOES 84 X 86mm MEAN ANY THING
OR
DEGREES BEFORE T.D.C TOP DEAD CENTRE.

PICS OF STATOR - CDI - STATOR PLATE

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED  :-D

don46:
The vintage of 86-88 look the same, the clutch is different between the years, and if you use a nut to hold the counter shaft sprocket it is either 86 or 87 pull the clutch cover and get a picture of the clutch, I think 86 had 5 springs and a different release mechanism than the 87. not sure about the 84x86 but stroke is 86 and bore is 86. If you can get a complete ignition from basically any kx500 from 86-2004 it would work, but like I say complete.

BacK.IN.THE.DaY:
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

SO COULD I USE MY STM CDI OR WOULD I NEED THE CDI ASWELL PLEASE?

BECAUSE

I CAN GET A ROTOR AND STATOR FOR IT FROM 86 TO 88 I THINK IT WAS

NEED A FAST REPLY PLEASE

ANY HELP APPRECIATED
