Need cases 96 KX 500

[johnny105]

I just picked up a 500 where the engine case on the sprocket side had a chain rerail and break the arm where the clutch comes up and the entire round piece of the case. Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I looked at motosport.com but they only show the clutch side of the case not the sprocket side.... HELP!

Yikes...
 This was the very reason I got my bike in a couple boxes. The P.O gave up and sold his bike. The cheapest way to go is picking up the part is ebay.
Here is the supplier for service honda

Jeez, I didn't even pay that for the bike. Maybe I'll just part it out and try to buy something that isn't broken.....

Keep checking ebay. I picked up a set of cases for my 87 for $16 each.

Kawasaki sells cases as a matched set, at least they used to maybe you can buy them individually now. Supposedly the cases are line bored together and you get true cases.

Are you looking for a set.

[johnny105]

Yes, I am looking for a set. I really don't want to buy new.

I have a set of 2001 cases that a good machinist can fix. It has a worn crank bearing journal. Or i have a 2003 that are in great shape. Or a 95 cases that are currently been running one of the motors.

[johnny105]

I'll post a picture tomorrow.... How much do you want for the 2003 cases?

Here is a pic of the damage.

Johnny,
 Those cases can be repaired. Are there any cracks in the
case other than the missing part?
 
Larry

[johnny105]

Nope... no other cracks in the case. The bike has been sitting for 2 years just like this before I bought it. The piece that broke off is GONE.... the guy I bought it from didn't even bother trying to find it. Can it be repaired?

[Larry Wiechman]

Johnny,
 I've fixed worse. A TIG welder and milling machine can get you out of a lot of jams.
