What is this ?? And how to fix this ??
Besides the dirt what is this feed line thingy ?? Anyone else got one ?? Also I have replaced all the sprocket shaft seals, orings and collars etc and it STILL leaks. Whats the go with that anyone know ?? Maybe the Renthal sprockets are thinner thus not providing enough squish on the orings ??
Heres the feed line thingy...
Cheers,
Trev...

uh? what the ? thats not on mine or in the manual. oil level or presure switch?
nice looking shifter. as far as the counter shaft leaking I would say its the seal area on the shaft. or you are cutting the seal on the splines when installing. I use saran wrap or a ziplock bag with the zip cut off when installing seals or orings on sharp edged surfaces.

Obviously, your bike is a cleverly designed alien spacecraft - perhaps of living tissue that only resembles metal.
Beware the leakage, it could be their means of spreading themselves to take over our bodies. You should always ride in a sealed wetsuit, just in case.

I thought your bike was a 'regular' model? You've made comment about it not being some wodgy shonky tin-tanked dodger...so what is it?
Why doesn't your manual say what it is...or is your manual for a US bike?
Is your bike an H4?

Trev, you really blew the chance to show off your new fabbed automatic transmission. That's obviously a transmission fluid line to the cooler. (I would have believed that story) In the meantime, can you figure out where that line is going to?

Looks like it goes only to the magneto cover?
Remember what it looked like under your flywheel?
Does it have something to do with oiling your LH crank bearing?
It's 'wet' all the time, right? It's below the level window in the sight glass.
And, yeah...why IS your shifter so purty? Well, besides the fact that it's brandy new.....

Trust me that baby is no SR model. maybe Trevs bike is simply a "Series II" of the H4 models that has minor improvements over the first ones. I know for a fact that us Aussies do get the best of both worlds over here as quiet often we do get crap from the US as well as the good stuff from Japan in all aspects of the world EG, CARS, electrical appliances, copiers, and of course bikes!

You tell me and we'll both know.canyncarvr wrote:I thought your bike was a 'regular' model? You've made comment about it not being some wodgy shonky tin-tanked dodger...so what is it?
It certainly aint no tin-tanker. The differences I can find between mine and yours are as follows;
water temp sensor
??oil temp sensor??
steering lock
pillion pegs
ON/OFF kill switch.
All probably added safety features for ADR compliance and road registration ??
Who listens to the manual ?!? The manual (under Electrical system/Flywheel Magneto / removal) shows a few pics with the same thingy installed and others show it without, go figure.canyncarvr wrote:Why doesn't your manual say what it is...or is your manual for a US bike?
It is a 1998 model so according to the manual it is a H4, but again who listens to the manual...canyncarvr wrote:Is your bike an H4?
Sure does... With a wire attached by the looks. A bit hard to see with the FW in place.canyncarvr wrote:Looks like it goes only to the magneto cover?
Yep something like this....canyncarvr wrote:Remember what it looked like under your flywheel?
Anything look out of the ordinary there ??
I think maybe more to do with a low oil sensor. I'll look for my old speedo and see what warning lights it has.canyncarvr wrote:Does it have something to do with oiling your LH crank bearing?
Yep...canyncarvr wrote:It's 'wet' all the time, right? It's below the level window in the sight glass.
I am in the process of lengthening the shifter/brake pedals and lowering the pegs to make the bike fit my 6'5" frame a bit better.canyncarvr wrote:And, yeah...why IS your shifter so purty? Well, besides the fact that it's brandy new.....

Dang. I was just typing on a different thread, and that same thought hit me. I come back here, and you've already got that idea.I think maybe more to do with a low oil sensor. I'll look for my old speedo and see what warning lights it has.
When I changed the counter shaft sprocket on the KDX the first time, it leaked after a few rides. Some of my KX5 buddies told me that was a common issue with the KX5. Kawasaki has two O rings behind the collar for the countershaft sprocket. They suggested I find a slightly thicker O ring and run it with one of the OEM O rings. I matched one of the O rings up with a slightly thicker one from Home Depot. Leak Fixed!

Trev - It might be a secondary lighting coil. Some of the non-US bikes had three coils under the flywheel, maybe that is the line from the extra one?

It is a sensor in the side of the case with a push on connector. The connector has a clear plastic cover on it that has turned yellow. The connector has a light green(actual color may be different) wire coming from it that goes under the flywheel. Am I correct so far? It should be a low oil sensor or a high oil temp sensor. Either way, it sould turn on a light or kill the engine.

Not a single reference to an SR model. It IS a US spec 'H' model, just with enhanced revisions.

Well, if you knew it was an electrical thingy why didn't you just SAY so in the first place!!
It looked like an oil passage to me..a tube with oil IN it.
OK...if it's a low-oil kill (or just ID for that matter), it works off of level or pressure? Pressure from what?
KayD: If you find your old 'dash'..do you still have the wiring for it? Plug it in, see what happens with David's suggestion..which was an excellent one, btw.
Here is my basic mistake: I figgered KayD had some slight clue what kind of bike he had. Sheeeeesh. Forgive me, for I hath sinned!
For what it's worth, I looked at BuyKaw for 'non US' models..and didn't see anything like the morph-job pictured herein, whereas and theretofore.
I don't get the point of links to .au KDXs for sale. Those sellers have no clue what they hell they're talking about or NOT talking about.
Take no umbrage. Same as posting links to ebay for US models. That a seller there does NOT say anything about SR means nothing. Likely he/she/they/it have no idea what an SR is or in many cases that such a thing even exists.
IF your manual (maybe you odda pay attention to it) lists things like sensors under the flywheel, is that a supplement to the 'H' manual or does it say WHAT it is referring to?
BTW, it was UNDER the flywheel I wondered about. Wondered what happend to that connection..how it was terminated.
Speaking of flywheel...I thought you had a Steahly FWW.
