[QUOTE="GKKarns, post: 285360, member: 27446"] I've ndone two kx65 bottom ends because of big end failure. Both bikes were new 5-10 hrs on each. What we found was that the factory used too much case sealant. The bead projected too far into the cases and as the rod came around the oiling groove scraped the sealant off and filled up with it not allowing any oil to get into the bearing. I have never heard of a cold siezure of a roller bearing every true roller bearing siezure that I have seen in industry was lack of lube or heat related or improper clearances. The dealer did not cover either one of these bikes That is how I ended up getting them to do. One was a 2000 and the other was a 2001. don't get over zealous with the goo. Remember you can over do a good thing. Hope this helps. Garret [/QUOTE]
