[hughes]

Few guy's on this site have 87 KX500's but the ones that do seem to be always looking for parts and specs. I put a few items together. I'll add thing as need. If you find a source for parts or info please feel free to tell me so it can get added to the list. Thanks. 

Click the link below I inserted links to the suppliers but they will not work when you open the file.

I am a newbie with a 1987 KX500, so I am appreciating this BIG TIME!  I also have some general basic questions about the flywheel/charging stator if you care to lend an ear

As a new 1987 k5 owner, thankyou.

MSR also sells the chain rollers for the 87. They are nice pieces. Sealed bearings to boot. I did find that I had to mix and match washers I had to get everything to look the way I wanted. I'll dig the boxes out tomorrow and post the part numbers.


Edit: here are the MSR part numbers for the rollers.. 41-3881.  Same nuber for upper and lower.

Wow- fantastic help, thanks- just read i can use 88-04 piston on my 86 (same as 87). i coldn't find an 86 anywhere and no-one knew if alt piston could be used.

very usefull for me and my erm........ problematic project!
thanks for taking the time to help us 87 owners out,  without knowing what bits you can steal off other years these things are just a nightmare to get parts for on the cheap, at the end of the day i only wanted a chap toy, if i had loads to spend on it then i would of bought a newer one!
