Question: Will a later KX500 stator cover fit an earlier 83/84 KX500?
« on: October 01, 2014, 09:36:05 pm »
G'day KX'perts..

Okay, I see on eBay some sellers have nice stator engine side covers for sale - and have them listed as fitting the 83 KX500... (?)

Here is an example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/331163853840?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

My question is: Before I perform an expensive experiment, does anyone know whether the 83/84 (A1/A2) stator covers are the same as later models?

Surely someone here knows....? Big K / Nathan / Trent Farlow / KAW440 / Steve W ?  :)

Thanks in advance,
Dave.

I might actually add that the picture used in this advert isn't the actual item as the 83-84 KX5's have 5 attachment bolts.....
 
This one is possibly a better example.....

The year designations in the ad are a little confusing....  ???

John,
        I always ask the supplier the question via email if said parts will suit my application. That way you have a document if any recourse is needed further down the track. A way smarter and most times cheaper way to go than a forum opinion I would think.

Thanks Sam - I figured the guys (such as Ted) might know seeing as though they have one of the said KX's in their shed...

Of course I can always ask them...... but y'know......   :o

Ok then. Looks the same, but seeing as it has no scaled drawings attached it would only be a guess.
Does that help?

They also list this which may supercede the earlier part!

KX500-E8 96 500 KX500 MOTOCROSS

much the same deal with the actual cover

Part # = 14031-1091
Part Description = GENERATOR COVER
Model Count = 5
KX500-A1 83 500 KX500 MOTOCROSS
KX500-A2 84 500 KX500 MOTOCROSS

KX500-B2 86 500 KX500 MOTOCROSS
KX500-C1 87 500 KX500 MOTOCROSS


and these may be the superceded to later model part

Part # = 14031-1220
Part Description = GENERATOR COVER
Model Count = 14
KX500-A1 83 500 KX500 MOTOCROSS

Gday mate...
Is that a "Yes" to the subject title, or "Yes" to my last comment?

Just to close out this topic... I bought it and it fitted spot on.
The Boyesen part number is SC-13B for anyone else looking for one.
It will definitely fit the 83, 84 and 85 KX500, and then from 88 on. Not sure about the 86 and 87's.





Looks fantastic !  8)
