KX60 HELP! In need of rebuild!
kwakman:
just to clarify, i was only joking about selling the grandparents.you'd have trouble shipping them....

+1 +1 +1 all great advice. Chris, it is going to make you puke how much$$ goes into this! If you get into doing this type of stuff especially on dirt bikes. You will never be able to sell them for what you put into them! But what you will LEARN, just doing a carb. rebuild (THE RIGHT WAY!) is tremendous! The experience will be indespensible later in life. Worth every penny. Check out my thread labeled-- "My 2004 KDX 220" Almost got it runnin, and I now call that bike "The learning experience" :mrgreen: Are you experienced :mrgreen: (sorry guys, had to make the hendrix comment) :lol:

Hahahahahaha ...... Reading this qoute made me feel alot better! :-)
@Chris-mets dont worry mate i'm 27 and only just started this as a hobby, i been riding for years but buying scrappers
chucking bikes away when they are done! Finally thought i wanna take care of something and have it in top condition...
Trust me, even if you've done a thousand things wrong, you still did the first one right.... Joing kxriders! Guys here are so helpful! Second step buy a manual! Then pick up a spanner! let us know how you get on! I'm still doing my 91 kx250 rebuild....so far i've done Frame, breaks, suspension, swing arm, all bearings replaced, sproket's, chain and tyres.....
ONLY now have i decided to pull the engine out and look at that.....
But reading this has made me feel better about where i am too, so thank you for that!! Just stick at it and take your time as a wise man once said to me lol (1989kawasaki)

Thanks everyone for the help! I remember when I got my first bike I didn't even know how to turn the ignition key on :) I thought it was broken the little ttr90 :) I am almost done with the funding. All I might need is the sealing glue you put on when you reseal the middle cases. My friend has a torque wrench. I was thinking the only torquing I probably need to do is the 4 head bolts. What do I torque it to? Thanks everyone!
