Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Head gasket sealant need a quick response
greencannon:
Yeah, like Foxx said, Yamabond or Three bond
Works perfect for the "infamous" leaky KX500 head gasket
BTW - Foxx, love that Buckley photo of JOJo Keller doing the real original scrub.....man that brings back some childhood motocross memories
Foxx4Beaver:
Yeah,I had the privalige of growing up riding with JoJo...we lived 5miles away from each other here in Plymouth,MA for almost 25 years.The first REAL bike I bought was his 1985 Pro Circuit CR250...I was 14yo then.He's been living in New Hampshire the last 7-8months at a kids house that he's training.He spends alot of time at Jolly Rogers in Lempster,NH.
It's amazing watching him ride at 49yo,and 300lbs....and STILL spank the s%#t outa most of the NESC guys!!!

Do yourself a favor and don't use the oem top end gaskets. They will only cause headache.
Cometic makes the best gaskets you can use. Don't use a fiber base gasket or it will suck in or blow out. Let me know if you would like to procure some. I also have the custom cut base gaskets from cometic that have the 1/4" KIPS drum holes instead of the big ones to help shim the KIPS. :wink:

I love reading interned bull $hit. Nothing for nothing but i've used Kawasaki OEM gaskets assembled DRY and not had one single issue over the past 23 years.

my vote on headgasket sealer is spray on copper coat. Use it regularly
