[QUOTE="Mikeb, post: 241703, member: 16131"] [b]Deja Vu[/b] I thought I was the only one to see this. At DW01 Canadian Dave was riding my 98 KDX200 and we were pulling the arrows down from the hare scramble course. We had stopped and started about a billion times to remove arrows when he started the bike and it sounded terrible. You could hear something in the clutch cover grinding against the basket. :scream: He immediately shut it down. As I got over to it to look at the case it had a hole about the size of a dime in the clutch cover and oil dripping everywhere. We towed it back and found that the hole was punched in from the outside right in front of the kickstarter. Many people looked at the bike and all that we could come up with is that a mud covered rock was lodged just in front of the kickstarter and when he kicked the starter it shoved the rock into the case hard enough to break a hole in the case and send the broken piece of metal into the clutch assy. Thankfully Dave knew something wasnt right and shut her down quick before any clutch damage could happen. When I got back home I took it apart and found the cover needed replacing and also I had a hairline crack in the right side cover. Luckily the hairline crak did not go all the way through and it didnt need to be replaced. I dont think this is a defect or anyhting like that I just chalked it up to bad luck and went on. The KDX is still BY FAR the most reliable 2 stroke I have ever owned. [/QUOTE]
