Nice score DP.
When I got my '00 that was in pieces a few years ago...that belonged to a 14yo kid, I had the same mess of parts that didn't go with the bike. The biggest was the expansion chamber....it had an FMF pipe from a '94 KX250...I realized it once it got to that point in the assembly, when none of the mounts where lining up. Then it donned on me, why both spring eyelets on the cylinder where worn right through from the springs....cause that's all that was holdin the dam pipe on. sigh

I think Ill add Craiged to my vocabulary Umberto! :-D and Ill bet that thing had some good vibration to it Foxx! I know I am gonna find something on this bike that bites me but so far just the swing arm in the only thing I am concerned about!

honestly I don't know...I got it in boxes...but after dropping $3500 into it...it literally sounds like it came off the showroom floor...absolutely zero rattles. It's amazing.
DP3601:
Well here is a big surprise. Called the dealer that I talked to initially when I bought the bike and questioned why they didn't mention this. They reassured me that it was repaired well and the engine had no leaks. I have yet to do a leak down test on it to make sure.
Anyone have any experience with something like this or would I be better to find a new case half and replace it? Checked on a new one from Kawasaki and they come as a set for nice price of $532 :-o

I have repaired many, many cases with no issues.
You do need to machine the mating surfaces and or lap them to make sure they seal well.
