Today I made a softstart of the kx500 project...
Warmed her up good and drained the grey/white oil from the gearbox, hope that the transcover isn't to badly corroded around the waterpump. But there was no oil in the coolant so hopefully no leaks from the waterpump to the gearbox.
Other issues are from a quick inspection:
* bad radiators, scaushed with missing/cracked brackets etc...
* bad rivnuts in the rear subframe
* drycracked boot for reedcage
* damaged fitting for the clutchcable on the left engine case.
* spongy clutch (clutch arm in left case looks a little worn)
* someone has removed the coating from the upper forktubes, have to meassure the thickness so they havent taken to much material away...
On the good side:
Grease nipples in linkage for the suspension...
The repairs / restoration that has been done seems well done
