Nice!!!!!

 

Yeah, plus the cylinder head has a 30 day warranty on it if installed by a licensed mechanic so I think I'm going to pay someone to do it. What would be a good price for installing a new head and piston? I've never paid a mechanic to do any work so I want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off.

 

Also, you guys know of a good way to cross reference parts from a 02 klx300 for a 06 klx250s? There are a few things parts that I found on eBay that I was going to order and want to see if they are compatible with each other.

 

Good idea on having Bill look it over.

 

I use the Motosport.com online parts fiche to cross ref. part numbers...

 

Thanks, I'll check it out.


Need some parts recommendations for the following:

-Front and rear sprocket(14/42 for 351 kit? steel or aluminum? renthal?)
-Chain(D.I.D. O-Ring chain?)
-New gear shifter lever(xr650L?)
-front break pads - I suppose this doesn't really matter too much, brake pads are brake pads

 

The Utah skid plate code is in this thread:

Post 153. No idea if it is still good. It's a quality item at a decent price with great service. I just got around to putting mine on yesterday, had the same issue mentioned in the very last post with the bracket moving while tightening. I just jammed a big adjustable wrench in between the bracket & motor to hold it in place while I tightened it - just be careful with it. After today, I have to say though that it holds a lot of mud - until you get to lots of deep water at least.

 

Thanks man, exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need to get my chain and sprockets lined up and I'll be good to go.

 

Hey Jhoffy,
I run JT sprockets on rear, PBI 13 tooth and Sunstar 15 tooth on front. All steel ones front and back. Aluminum on the rear are lighter, which can improve performance. Removing the front sprocket can be a pain. The nut's on there tight. I'm not a fan of taking the impact to it, and instead insert a large socket into one of the holes in the rear sprocket so it jams against the swing arm, locking it in place so I can use a long breaker bar on the front sprocket and torque the bolt off. I change my front sprocket around from 13 to 14 to 15 fairly regularly depending on where I'm riding. This is brought up because some others on this forum warned against jamming an aluminum rear sprocket. Its fine with the steel, but aluminum could bend. Another member here rigged up a used piece of chain to do something similar...there's a thread around here somewhere...

 

I've spent the last half hour trying to find a place to order the #38 and #40 pilot jets for my bike. Anyone have a link?
