Pulled off the clutch basket, crank has a silicone like glue all around it?

A new RHS case wouldnt set you back very much, check out ebay you might get lucky.

$1000 AUS dollars new.
If anyone could link me to a 92-99 kx250 one it would be helpful.

I've thrown in a couple of links to some engine cases off fleabay at the bottom. One is the left and right while the other two are just the right case. Given you mentioned 1992 - 1999 this is what came up. Two claim to ship worldwide but the other only within the United States. From the looks of the case in you pictures it looks as though the last time the engine was rebuilt they cracked the case pressing the crank in. If you could get that stuff off you might have some luck with having it welded. Looking at the parts listing on Motosport it looks as though the cases are sold as a matched set, left and right, which is probably why it's so expensive.

Big help that is mate, thanks for the links!
Im located in AUS, and yeah the cases are in a set which sucks considering I think ill only need the RH side one. And your theory on getting the crank in splitting the cases is probably correct. Kind of got sucked in to buying this bike, thought it was cheap ended up being a nightmare luckily I have another one to ride while this ones getting repaired or I would not be happy!!

Maaaaan I just started reading this thread and I feel really sorry for you. Believe me I've been there. Spending your hours in the shed on a bike instead of in the saddle. I hope its not a cracked case and if it is I hope its an easy weld job.

Yeah it absolute sucks just got the motor out yesterday, taking it into the mechanics today to give it a proper diagnosing and then tell me wether the cases are cracked or not. Only reason taking it in is because I have to split the cases to remove the crank seal, so might swell get a 100% diagnosis of the problem. I did happen to find a complete casing set on eBay for $300. So if need be not sure wether to buy a second hand casing or weld it or spend the $1000.

I'm not expert but I'd probably have a VERY skilled welder do it. Don't just get the next door neighbor to have a crack at it cos a dodgey weld would be a disaster at 11,000 RPM. Unless the next door neighbor is infact an extremely skilled welder of course

Not wrong mate, and terrible prices for bikes and parts incomparison to the US!!
Summer here is a shocker no mud at all like riding on concrete!
Front wheel spends more time in the air, and rear is all over the show. Just the way you want it though aha

[SachsGS]

Here in my corner of Canada it's +40 C in the summer and -40 C in the Winter if you want to discuss extremes!

Normally you would think that engine cases could only be purchased as matched sets.
