Thank you.
I bought it for low cost because it has a clutch problem and needs to be restored.
Ok, then I send a photo of kdx and Portugal. I live in Sintra, it's wonderful.
Sorry, for my English.

Cool, looks like a clean bike and I'm digging those white tank fairings. Now show me some pictures of you surfing Nasare. Just kidding, but if you got 'em send 'em!

Your English is fine. Please excuse mine. Checking google maps it appears you are a fair distance from Praia do Norte. Which I'm guessing means North Point. I also noticed that you live in a very beautiful village or city that is very close to a large National coastal park. Which means a lot of execellent riding. Very happy for you!

Welcome to the forums and congratulations on the bike. The KDX clutch is very simple to work on. Reach out to this site if you need help. Your first purchase should be a service manual!

:lol: This joke I leave for Garrett McNamara, :pop: I like the beach but not with waves of 30 meters. He is very brave.

Yes, it is very close to the North beach. Portugal is a small country but it has a lot of good things, great to visit and live. In a few kilometers we find; sea, mountain, rivers, field, city, historical monuments, good food, drink and sun for motorcycle riding

The problem is the small gear of the clutch basket.
Broke 3 pieces

By "small gear of the clutch basket" do you mean the inner clutch hub or perhaps either the primary gear on the crank shaft or the kickstarter idler gear? Either way, if the gear is broken, there is no fix other than replacement of the broken gear. Pretty straight forward.
