Wow that vapor blasting is amazing. Better then factory! Thanks Foxx4Beaver for the info. I may try the soda blasting first on my sons KLX and see if I am happy with it then if not move to the vapor blasting.
Foxx4Beaver:
no problem.
be sure to take "before & after" pics, so we can see the difference. :wink:
DP3601:
Has anyone ever used powder coating on your frame? How durable is it or is it better to just repaint with the factory paint? I have the motor pulled doing some work to it and figure this is about as good a time as any to do it.
DP3601:
I pulled the motor to replace some oil seals and decided to pull the power valve cover to take a look. When I pulled the cover it was full of black oil. I cleaned this when I did the top end last time. What would cause this as I don't think this is normal. It has been smoking quite a bit but I have it jetted right on. Any ideas?
Foxx4Beaver:
if it's "jetted right on", it shouldn't be smoking a lot.
there is a seal on the KIPS shaft...part number 92049-1238, and if it's worn/leaking, then it will show a little more black oil than normal when you pull the cover.
you could have a bad clutch side crank seal too...which would allow it to suck tranny fluid and burn it, causing the excessive smoking...a possibility.
and if it does have a bad crank seal, you'll never get it jetted correctly.
