[QUOTE="bikepilot, post: 985028, member: 56976"] Yes, just change the transmission oil. Also, imo its worth pulling the right side engine cover off and checking that the PV govener is pressed together correctly. Many were improperly put together from the factory and allow the pv govener ball(s) to fly out into the trans when the engine is at high rpm = Not Good. My wife's 03' had this happen. fortunately the ball got lodged near the drainplug before it did any really bad damage. There was a TSB on the issue, but currently kawasaki is refusing to admit it is a big problem and will not pay for subsequent engine damage. A frind of mine owns a Honda/Kawasaki dealership and he has his mechanics check this part on all their KX85/100's before they are sold. They have found several out of spec this year. I have pictures of the part, but this site thinks my photo hosting site is a porn site so it doesn't work here. If interested, go to [url]www.p[/url] o s t w h o r e.biz (without the spaces), click on user galleries, then bikepilot, then dirt riding pics - you'll see some pics of the PV govener, the damaged engine case cover and such. Other than this one small issue the bike has been very reliable and is great fun:) good luck [/QUOTE]
