? "half moon" gasket 2009 oil leak issue (http://www.kawasakiforums.com/forum/...k-41003/page2/)


are there any other "known issues" with the KLX? Any gaskets/seals/electrical that tend to blow or act up predictably after __ miles? Met a guy the other day that asked what year my bike was and when I told him he said "Better get a water pump gasket". Whaaaattt???

 

Subscribed.

First I'm hearing about a water pump gasket.

Or the shift star, gas tank, or swing arm thing. .?

 

I believe the shift star was pre 09 and gas tank recall was 09-10 (see sticky). The whole bike is low on lube. Water pump is new to me also.

 

06 was the best year...LOL

 

Water pump is not an issue.
Lack of lube everywhere is an issue, as s10gto said.
Bike is pretty bullet proof.

 

Thanks. The guy that warned me didn't own a KLX but "had been around a lot of Kawasakis"... I'd never heard of this one.

 

Maybe another model, not the KLX.

 

Okay, I have an 09, what's the gas tank recall? How do I know if it has been done?

I'm going to do a bit of research, but still, let me know.

 

Perhaps this?
