Hi to All,

I'm new at the Kawasaki forum. I'm 50 years old and living in Belgium.
Originally we are from the Netherlands, but work brings us around the world.
I've recently purchased a Kawasaki KDX 125 SR from 1990. It just started as a project to keep us a bit busy in shed.
We love motor bikes.
The KDX was bought in quit a horrible state. The engine is probably the biggest challenge, but we are not afraid to give it a try.
It is mainly the crank shaft that is keeping me busy at the moment. Visually it is wrecked (a lot of pitting corrosion on it) with a big end bearing that feels not to healthy.
I'm just wondering, since an OEM replacement seems very difficult to get, if I can use later model KX series crank shaft. Does any one knows or has experience ?

Thanks a lot for heaving me here, I hope I can find the information I'm looking for and can even add some knowledge I have from over 30 years of biking on- and off road
