Message: [QUOTE="cujet, post: 141686, member: 19501"] The Xt350 was a current production bike until 2001. the engine is the same, so I would suspect you will have no problem finding the part. Those engines are nearly bulletproof! I would not worry about keeping spending a few dollars to maintain it. Every bike requires maintenance and yours will cost less than most. The TT350 was a very good bike in it's time and is still very trail worthy. Sure is is not a race bike and it is way down on power compared to modern 4 strokes, however the bike is still quite a good play bike. I believe the kickstart shaft is fairly easy to replace. The side cover needs to removed and probably the clutch assy. I do not believe the engine needs to be disassembled or removed from the chassis. You will need a new side cover gasket. Keep in mind that the screws strip out the aluminum very easily in that engine, so assemble with blue loctite and do not overtorque. Chris [/QUOTE]
