Title: Kx5 cases
Post by: lmhans4440 on August 10, 2016, 12:54:51 PM

Hello everybody, I'm Lee, and I'm new to the forum. I have been riding a CR500 and XR600 for years, and I just recently bought a 1992 KX500. I was wondering if there is a fix for the crank cases that have a sloppy fit for the main bearing? My left side case is good, as the bearing spun on the crankshaft, but my right case the new bearing just drops rite in. I hope to get this bike restored, but this crank case problem needs to be solved first.

Seems he was bought out by another company, which I called and was told they don't do automotive or motorcycle work. I guess I'll have to try to find someone else to do the work.

Arrow machine works bought the o-e-m company and he still does the plating. He is going to plate .004 on to my bearing, so we'll see how that works
