1984 kawasaki kdx 200. Bottom end rebuild video #1

Installing new bearings in bottom end.

[@BraydenWhiteMusic]

When you were showing your laid out parts at the beginning of this…the needle bearing on the sheet labelled “save”. Was that a mystery piece and did it come from the engine mounting bolt lol

[@AdamzGarage]

Yeah, that was one of those pieces that went rolling down the bench..lol.. I believe it was a needle bearing for the transmission if I remember correctly.

[@BraydenWhiteMusic]

@@AdamzGarage yea I did the same thing turns out my mystery bushing and needle bearing were for each end of the countershaft lol

Im trying to get my 1984 kdx200 running. Its hard to start. Has spark but takes like 70 kicks to fire up. Compressiin is at 165, timing marks are in spec. What to do?

[@annaelias92]

When will the wiring video for the cl70 be ready

[@AdamzGarage]

Hi. I actually started the video but soon realized when I ordered the stuff I needed I was short some wire. I ordered it last week but still hasn't arrived. Hoping it will be in soon. I'll keep you posted.

@@AdamzGarage thx

[@breezzy5274]

You put grease in crank bearings🤦‍♂️ that’s gonna ruin the spark plug bc it’s gonna get into the expansion chamber

[@AdamzGarage]

Thanks for the tip. The one bearing with the green Grease came that way. I did add a little of the red grease, during installation but wiped out most of it before reassembly. Thanks again... always learning.

It's not quite in there yet.... As he's hammering away on the same edge of the socket like he's driving a nail in. Aren't you supposed to hit all around the seal not just the one end over and over and over

[@AdamzGarage]

Nope your supposed to hit it over and over.
