[QUOTE="kdxinjapan, post: 124854, member: 24043"] Im new to this forum and new to KDXing. Im an Australian living in Japan and as a result its dificult to have a chat with the local mechanic about bike problems. I recently bought a 1991 KDX 250 for the bargain price of $200 dollars. Since then i have had a few problems, most of which have been solved either buy the over priced Kawasaki dealer or by this great website. Recently i noticed water in my transmission. Mr. Kawasaki dealer inspected the water pump, changed the oil and said, "There is a small leak that cant be helped in the water pump, the oil will probably turn white again but its nothing to worry about". This sentiment was also backed up by the previous bike owner. As predicted the oil soon turned white. The problem is now that the bike is now leaking oil from several of the gaskets, eg. the clutch cable seal, the inside and outside clutch cover gaskets and the water pump gasket. I have also noticed that over time it has become almost impossible to find neutral when the bike is running, obviously a clutch problem. I dont have a manual only the parts lists and diagrams from the Kawasaki web page, therefore i have a few questions: Has this , water in the oil problem, had anything to do with the gaskets going or is this just normal wear off a 10 year old bike? How can i judge how much transmission oil is, and should be in the bike? ie. relative to the oil level guage. What is causing this water in the oil problem? Does this need to be replaced along with the gaskets? Am I able to do this myself without too much trouble? Im guessing the set of gaskets is cheap but Japanese labout isnt! . My main concern is gaining access to the IN clutch cover gasket without having to disassemble the whole bike. If anyone has any advice on the relationship between my, water pump, gasket and clutch problems it would be appreciated.@I have a rough idea of what has to be done but some tips would help. I don't want to replce all to gaskets to find out a month later that it was the %of water in the transmission that caused them to blow in the firts place. Thanks Paul in Japan [/QUOTE]
