spliting ccases on 89 kdx 200 ..suggestions?
If you have a few pictures that you want people to take a look at it is just easier for the people to have them in the thread instead of chasing them down.

Re: spliting ccases on 89 kdx 200 ..suggestions?
I do have an e-series head. It has a few nicks in it from some previous damage. Nowhere near as bad as yours. If it were me I'd probably still get it resurfaced, but I'm sure it's usable. I will let it go cheap if you want to go that route. But right now on ebay....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-KDX200-CYL ... ff&vxp=mtr
That's the route I would go if it were me. $40 shipped for a head that looks to be in perfect condition is a pretty decent deal. Mine is pictured below. Not perfect, but not terrible. I'd say go for the Ebay head.

Did you check the ebay link? That's a pretty good deal at 39 bucks with free shipping. If you want mine, You can have it for $25, and I'll pay the shipping. I have been planning on sending it to RB to be modded, and then either keep it as a spare or use it in a future build. Been out in my shed for 5 years or so, so I don't suppose I'll ever get around to doing anything with it.

Re: spliting ccases on 89 kdx 200 ..suggestions?
sense this thread has been scattered everywhere there's no reason to start a new one ...but the question of the hour is why does my kick starter skip I have to go really slow on to it then it will ketch and I can push down hard and it doesn't skip . when I tore the motor apart I looked at the gear couldn't see anything wrong with it so any input would be great thanks!

Usually the ratchet gear teeth are worn, or the spring between them has gotten weak.

my vote goes to a weak spring. Had the same issue with mine.
A TEMPORARY quick fix: get the spring out and stretch it a bit being careful not to overdo it and mess up the spring shape and coil.
They are very cheap to replace (like 5 bux?)

yup. open it up, get a manual 1st if you don't have one. Will save you (and us) lots of headache.Julien D wrote:I would want to split the cases. Whatever caused that top end damage to the head and piston almost certainly put a hurting on the bottom end bearings.
replacing bearings is the ONLY way to be sure no tiny piece a metal shaving is in the bottom end. Don't believe me, do a search and you shall hear horror stories...

I hate to say this, but if your main bearings are as bad as you say, I can't imagine the big end rod bearing would be any better. All 3 bearings are exposed to the same conditions.
To get some idea of how bad it is, try to measure how much up-and-down movement (radial clearance) the con rod has on the big end bearing. Ideally you would use a machinist's dial indicator to measure this movement, but I doubt you have one.
You might be able to rig up something with an adjustable threaded stop rod and feeler gauges. With the bike's con rod horizontal and the crank pin up, (12 o'clock position, and con rod small end resting on a wood block) push up on the con rod's big end and set your threaded stop rod so it just touches the outside of the con rod's big end. Now let the con rod rest on it's rollers and use feeler gauges to measure the clearance between your threaded stop rod and the outside of the con rod's big end.
The manual says the standard clearance is just a little more than one thousandth (.001) of an inch. The service limit is listed at .004". That's the thickness of a sheet of printer paper.
I hope this information is useful, and not too confusing. Good luck.
