Hey guys my discount KX250 top end is now apart... Shows no catostrophic damage... Looks perfectly fine (will get replaced anyway... Just glad to see the jug is not messed up or something) but the lower connecting rod bearing has issues (I think)... It does not have excessive up/down play... In fact it has no play... At all and its hard to move the connecting rod on the bearing... This seems it should spin freely and that what it did on my KDX when I rebuilt it.
I assume the case must be split to change this? Anyone done it? For what its worth the crank itself turns fine (which is to say smoothly), the surfaces all look lubricated though the lower connecting rod looks less so... I am hoping there is an easy(ish) way out of spliting the case as I don't have a huge collection of specialty tools...
Thanks.
