I think there is another tube that angles into the back rail. The KX5 frames had a tendency to break there if I recall correctly.

Is this true even if you have a two piece clutch cover?

If you have a two piece you will have no problem changing the clutch, you will still have a problem if you need to get in for any other reason. there is one ear on the cover that will not clear without the notch.

made a ilttle progress drilling the case for the bigger rmz swingarm axle and have the bike back together to do more lining up but am really on the hunt for a good clutch-side engine cover to almost complete my engine parts list....  :wink:  any leads would be appreciated.

well I haven't made much progress with moving to alaska but I did bring the project. Where I'm at now is I have an old CR500af pipe that I am going to weld the kx5 inlet portion of a kx5 pipe onto but... no one has any kx5 stuff in alaska.

just find someone with a lathe and have them make you one ,not much to it.
I sold my first 86 kx 500 in dutch harbor, last time I saw it it had made its way to Ancorage but that was in 89 or 90 so probably gone to scap by now.
