Kx500 clutch hub broken

(1/2) > >>

Fireypoop:
Hello there as the title says I have broken my clutch hub and was wondering if anybody has tried to repair? The part I broke is one of the 6 pressure plate bolt mounts. I am hoping to drill out the bottom of the hub where it's broken and tap the threads all the way through the mount and bolt it in from the backside and coat it with loctite. Will this work as long as I balance out the additional weight? Also i would do every second one so it would be somewhat balanced.

Please help

I did exactly that with countersunk 8mm bolts on a cr500 basket to keep me going for a weekend, it stayed in the bike a year before i bought a new basket

That is what I was waiting for as long as it will hold for the rest of this season I will order a new hub which is only 80$ but that is 80$ I do not have right now

Did the same to my quadzilla 15 years ago,  as far as I know,  it is still that way.  That was the day I learned I needed the right tool or a impact gun to remove my inner pressure plate. :-D. What a fun trip down memory lane that was.  The times you cussed the machine because it was not your fault it was built so cheap.  No fault of yours of course for not using the right tool :-P
Good luck
Alex

Try www.bikeboneyard.com she has used bikes and parts. I would be very careful with anything in the bottom end, a quick fix may cost big$ in the long run.
