Hey everybody!! I know I've been absent from the forums for a while and I apologize. You all must be lost without me. Ya right.
Anyway, you may remember last year I was doing quit a bit of work on my KX250, and had gotten my youngest boy a 99' KX60.
Well it's time to step him up to a KX65, he is using all of the suspension on that little 60 and parts availability is not what it used to be.
So my buddy comes up with this 03'KX65 and it needs some work, mostly brakes, a clutch, waterpump seal, and some cosmetic stuff. So I gave it the once over and got a parts list together and we worked out a deal, $550. So in the next week I'll be posting updates and photos of the rebuild.
First order of business was to figure out why the clutch didnt work but the bike still moved, so I pulled off the cover and what do you know the clutch plates are fused together, WTH?? Everything else looks real good though. So with the parts ordered, and them starting to come in already I will start the actual repairs on Monday.
I will be setting this little sucker up for woods riding, so the first mods will include Hand Guards, Skid plate, torque spacer, all reused from his 60, new plastic and graphics, adjustable levers, and in the future FMF turbine core and fatty, radiator brace, frame guards, and if I can find a bigger tank, a bigger tank.
