[QUOTE="lankytim, post: 838440, member: 51814"] G'day all. My '99 KDX200 was treated to new bearings throughout the engine not so long ago - transmission in/out shafts, big end, little end, etc, etc. Basically all of them apart from three: the KIPS governor and water impeller ones housed in the clutch cover and the little one between the clutch basket and the clutch actuator. What a lucky KDX I hear you say. Well here is where my worry begins... The other day I noticed (through the seat, hand grips and footpegs) a vibration that I deduced was coming from the "engine bit" of the bike. It kind of just appeared while I was riding. I've felt the feeling of a shot big end on this bike before and it was nothing as bad as that, but there nonetheless and worsening. I pulled the clutch cover off tonight and noticed that the three 'old' bearings I mentioned above were rat ****. They are now on order from my local dealer, Kawasaki that is. I'm HOPING that when I stick it all together it'll be nice and smooth as ever. I've got no reason to suspect a worn top/bottom end and I use good quality oil in the tranny and change it regularly. But I was hoping someone here could help me sleep tonight by saying that they too have felt quite a noticeable vibration from these tiny little bearings when they were worn? They seem too small to make such a vibration! [/QUOTE]
