Title: 87 k5 kips question
Post by: K5DADDY on July 31, 2009, 07:19:22 AM

anybody tell me how difficult it is to inspect the crankcase part of the kips? the cylinder part is working perfect as i just had the cylinder redone but the bottom part is not moving the rod. guessing its cuz the top was siezed up for so long when i bought the bike. any tips or help would be appreciated.

also does anyone know if in fact the plastic gear is stripped or broke, if a metal one is available?
