We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing....

Apparently this blokes job was to remove this nut from a tube socket while it was still on the rattle gun...

why didnt he just undo the nut while he had the tool for the job?

Hey! who photographed my welding?

[fred99999au]

I reckon I know this bike Geoff. If it is the same one I think it is, the only thing holding the clutch basket in is good will. The bushing over the input shaft is missing and the basket doesn't fit.

Where did you cross paths with it?

I think its one l saw for sale somewhere on the net, probably "fully restored" I love "fully restored" kdx's for sale.

[fred99999au]

Yeah, my mate bought it. Thankfully, we cant start it especially after finding that wrong clutch hub and no support bushing.

It was probably "fully restored" and he paid good money for it.

I wonder what other horrors lurk beneath.

What model KDX is it?
If 175 then I may have a clutch

[GMC]

You can always tell a good welder when it's really hard to see where they have stopped and restarted

[KTM47]

You can see where he stopped and started and almost count how many times.

[fred99999au]

Yeah, a 175 Geoff. Did you get my phone message last friday night?

[fred99999au]

Completely off topic, we were going to swap the complete clutch basket from the bike above to his other KDX175 which has just received new bearings, seals, piston and rings but it wouldn't fit.

Look at the baskets separately, and they look identical. Part numbers on the alloy castings identical, says KX125, but the gear riveted to the back is different.

Primary drive side is the same but the kick gear is bigger on the basket out of the bike above. The only way to get it back in would be to leave out the bearing sleeve to engage the kick idler. Hence the butchery I reckon. I'm glad he fried the clutch in the other bike, because this bike with no basket support sleeve would have been a sad hand grenade had we got it going.

Any idea what the difference between the two baskets are? Different year/model?
