Complete KX500 top-end rebuild instruction here!

<< < (5/8) > >>

eprovenzano:
Can I safely assume, that the rebuild of the legendary KX500 would be similar to my KX250?  I plan on doing a top end rebuild on my 99 KX250 in the early spring.

VERY IMPRESSIVE !!!!!!
THANKS A LOT !

raredesign:
I don't get the whole ballbearing idea for valve closing

redlined_KX500:
Those ball bearings go between end of KIPS actuating rod and end cap to control over rotation. I found mine at a bicycle shop. Can't remember exact size but it's listed in the thread for fixing that particular problem.

Great info and helped me alot tonight.  Now tomorrow I'll have to put it back together after I clean it all up, found a leaky headgasket - Walls look good, piston good - have new rings and gaskets.  Thanks, hope if I have problems getting it back togther you guys are around. :-D
