@@tgap8817 the chain goes around the crankshaft, if you don’t want to add a master link or re-press the chain back together, then you’ll have to disassemble the engine completely
i am in the situation of changing the timing chain on my KLE. since you are so skilled in this area, can you give me a tip about who's the best manufacturer of this part? thank you!
I haven’t used any aftermarket timing chain manufacturers, but for a OEM motor I can suggest going with a OEM chain. Megazip.net have them in stock, both in Japanese and USA warehouses.
Hey thanks for this informative video, i do have this issue i wanted you to please share your thoughts. There's a ticking noise (not magnet related since it does have the reinforced flywheel) coming apparently from the timing chain of the engine - I presume. The ticking sound speeds up as i rev the bike and i dont notice any loss in power as i drive it. I don't want to fully open the throttle to test though! At engine startup I may hear a slap but not everytime, however it starts fast regardless of how many days it's sitting. Can it be something else than the timing chain? Bike has 96K kmh.
@@gamelizz have you checked the valve clearances? It could be worth taking off both covers and inspecting the engine from the sides. Also check if the tensioner is actually applying any pressure to the chains guide.
@restorationvalve really appreciate your comment. I havent checked them in this service cycle but i will have to and check from the sides as well. Cheers🎉
The magnets in magneto generator are not secured. Old glue is just a timebomb. Please secure magnets with jbweld or something to prevent further damage. Nice build tho
@@mateuszkasza already done, on this and other KLE projects that can be seen on the Instagram account. Haven’t yet posted the video on replacing it. I usually order a new magneto, that has the magnets sealed in epoxy, because the old ones are usually eaten up by the starter clutch
@@restorationvalve fair enough. How your freewheeling clutch made such disaster 😅? I guess you mean that freed magnets grinding arround the strator cables. Or unwinding bolt stucking with the clutch sprocket?🥶
The block goes together with a thin layer of sealant, because it compresses the transmission and crank bearing. There isn’t a gasket in between the block

Veru Nice video,where are tou from
Thanks, Latvia
@@restorationvalve
Thanks, I am from Slovakia. I have Kawasaki KLE too.A lot of good info about restoration and repair also.Have a good luck
One question: why didn't you replaced the rotor flywheel with the bad magnets???
I did replace the magnet, the one I put on the first time didn't have the correct timing marks.
@@restorationvalve you can copy them from the old flywheel!
@@Pottema The timing marks for the crankshaft sensor. They are welded on. Luckily I just had the wrong one on because I have GPZ as a parts bike
why did,nt you change the flywheel ?
@@Anthony-t8y1n I’ve changed it later, in a separate video
Necesito un motor de Kawasaki 400 cc
Aucun joint ou pate joint entre les deux carters ?!!??! Aucune fuite ??!
