While I am doing my top end this month how can i tell what kind of shape my bottom end is in. how much play on the rod is to much? When should I be conserned?

Welcome to the site!

First off you need to get a manual if you don't have one. If you do, then the tolerances and how to check are in there. What model and year do you have?

If you have never checked before, then it is kinda hard to tell you how. A little up and down is OK but it's the side to side that is usually the dead give away.

Others in here are a lot more wordy than me, and they will be along shortly....

95 and up KDX 200 and 220

Rod up and down
Standard 0.026 ~ 0.043mm
Service limit is 0.10mm

Rod Side to side
Standard 0.040 ~ 0.50mm
Service limit is 0.70mm

Welcome to the site Grayhorse!

are you sure, cause mine doesnt move at all up and down, but it seems to be moving like side to side about 1/16 on an inch. It seems like it is natural for it to move side to side cause there is a space for it to move side to side.

The manual don't lie (much). I doubt you can even feel it, it says that it is more of a feeling thing than a measurement thing unless it is tore completely down and placed on a jig.

this is great now i got to spend $300 on a bottom end.

Personally... I wouldn't worry about it freak...

ya im not going to, just to let you all know please call me Ryan. Freak just sounds like a weird name.

Ryan it is.

You're too young to have worries, Ride, play your X-Box360 & have fun. When you get older, THEN you have the right to complain & worry
