That looks like your second gear sticking through the case, sorry to see that. Were you getting any noise before it went?

No strange noises! But If I need to be honest with you all...the 6 th speed refused to enter like normal for a while now even with a new shift kit mecanism assembly replacement...But Who needs 6 speeds on a E series?

No not yet M0rie, Wibbens and others. Good news. I have a spare engine with a blown crankshaft I bought from a friend last year. I hope the cases are in shape. I will begin the teardown this winter. I want my kdx back to life again...

In the meantime you can cry with me!

Nice tribute.

I'm from Maine, USA and some of those pics looked familiar. Were some taken just north of the St Lawrence between QC and Trois Rivieres?

Sorry about the case - hopefully you can patch it together with the spares this winter.

No Mudder. This was a kind of ''privilege'' my father had a few years ago because he was working at the Licence plate ministery. He had reserved this plate for me after the normal stamping process.

This plate is mine ...For ever :mrgreen:

Btw in Quebec we can not personalize our licence plates...Some other Provinces and States can.
