    H series KDX rebuild

    Hi all, Well I've stripped the output/transmission shaft on my KDX200 and I'm looking to get it sorted. Not keen to be spliiting cases myself so just wondering if anyone can recommmend anyone that is familiar with these engines. Im in Kaitaia but I could take the engine out and get it as far as Auckland if need be. It looks like the engine is pretty much completly apart to replace the shaft so I'm looking to get the top end done at the same time, kips valves cleaned up etc. Anyone got any ideas on costs? I'm pretty keen to keep the bike going so don't want to give up and flick it off.
    Any and all advise much appreciated.
    p.s the bike was running really well untill the shaft stripped out (resulting in a fairly long walk back along 90 mile beach haha) but it has been gathering cobwebs in the shed for a few months while other projects took over.

    Spectrum Motorcycles on Barrys point rd are experts on these. They are very good.

    Sprectrum or Mr Motorcycles would be the experts, but the team at Kaitaia Motorcycles was a kawasaki dealer for a long time, and would have worked on a few, might be worth calling in,

    There are a few guys in Kerikeri that are pretty good to, town and country motorcycles and Mitchell Nield.

    Mitch works on my bike and the t&c guys are good blokes to.

    is the shaft stripped out totally or just a portion the width of the front sprocket? if its not totalled you can grind the teeth off an old front sprocket
    (to reduce the diameter) and weld it to the existing front sprocket (to effectively double its width, or bite area) and run it that way. crude but it can work perfectly and postpone the need for surgery. you'd need to see wether it best to have the additional section at front or rear of the driving sproc
    depending on where the best shaft spline is, chain alignment etc.

    good luck
