Engine Rebuild - bearings and seals

Post by jbg_3d »

I'm doing a complete rebuild on an H-series bike and am getting nickel and dimed on bearings and seals. Where do I find an OEM kit for bottom-end rebuild? Or do I just order ALL online individually??? Right now on Babbitts online, I'm at almost $400 to buy all seals, bearings, bushings in motor...

Please help!

There is no OEM kit for any KDX or KX I ever heard of, just one at a time.

If you want Ching-Chong, then you can get a partial kit.

For bearings and kits I have been buying pivot works. Lifetime guarantee. I have taken advantage of the replacement policy twice and it was simple and easy. The way it works is you only get the guarantee on the set you buy. You don't get it on the replacement set. This still makes your bearings cost have as much. Problem is, they will probably only offer crank bearings and seals. Nope, I just checked, they only have the wheel and suspension stuff for the KDX. Worth it when and if you need that stuff though,

Anyone have a seal kit they like? Or do I just get what I get and hope for the best? The difference in cost is almost $100 for a full seal kit compared to one-at-a-time.

It looks like I am going to be rebuilding the bottom end on my bike now. I am definitely going OEM on the crank seals. I don't want to have to split the cases prematurely because a cheap seal failed.

After LOTS of looking, Babbitts Online was the cheapest spot I could find for OEM parts that had everything in stock. On with the build.
