Yeah. When mine was burning oil the plug would foul and it wouldn't run for very long, it seems your just burns it all.

Exactly what is happening, it runs the almost just dies!

And blows enough smoke to seem like your in a car doing a burnout down the whole street!  :D

Also check the seat where the seal presses in. When I rebuilt my 125 some one used a screwdrive to take out the old seal and gouged the aluminum seat I used Yamabond 4 to put the seals in.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if the little crack below the crank will cause, any problems. And does anybody know if the crank seal is removed from the outside, or does the motor have to be split and the seal removed internally.





Thanks.

Judging by the amount of crap someones layered on there i think you might have a cracked case under all that.
You need to clean all that s**t off and see exactly what you're dealing with.

Tried taking the rubbish off the face and all it does is tear into the steel.. Not going to come off.
Do you think the crack underneth the crank where the bearings are could affect it at all.

Guys thanks for the help, just realised have to split the casing no matter what as KX's RH crank seals can't be pulled out from the front. Will keep you posted on how things go.

Do you have play at the crank? Just in case try to wedge a screwdriver below the crank's pinion and try to move it up just a little, if it moves the bearing needs to be replaced. No seal can seal a loose bearing.  :'(

Decided to replace all bearings. Taking the motor in sometime this week as cases have to be split to remove the crank seal on KX's. Also going to get a new gasket kit which is pretty obvious as the motors already apart

Hope everything works out.

Likewise, pretty annoying to be honest only ridding the bike twice; and its already shit itself!

Will keep up the updates once i've taken motor in and got it back, then the moment of truth when I kick it over!
