Hi the names luke from the nz, just rebuilding my 2004 kx500 and am looking for some helpful advice and ideas, will post a pick when im done but bike is pretty standard and use it for trailriding

Foxx4Beaver:
welcome aboard luke...
if you're rebuilding the motor, it would be best to replace every bearing, seal, snap ring, new crank, any/all gears that look questionable, look at the shift forks closely, inspect the clutch plates and springs...I'd just get new clutch springs regardless, fresh re-plate with a Wossner piston and a complete Cometic gasket kit...that would get you started.

smityboy:
thanks for the tips , I am doing crank and all bearings and seals,I replaced clutch kit with springs etc a couple of months ago but 1 question i like to know is  is it better to use sealant or a gasket between crank cases as some gasket sets have a gasket for inbetween crank cases?

Foxx4Beaver:
yamabond4 is what you want for case sealant...
