Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the crankshaft pre-lubed?
A: While the components are treated for corrosion resistance, we always recommend applying a high-quality engine assembly lube to the bearings and crank pin before installation to ensure smooth initial startup.

Q: Does this kit fit both the Kawasaki and Suzuki models?
A: Yes, the WPC117 kit is compatible with the 2000-2005 Kawasaki KX65 and the 2003-2005 Suzuki RM65 as they share the same bottom-end architecture.

Expert Pro-Tip: When installing the crankshaft, take care not to force it into the cases. Use a proper crank puller tool to draw the crankshaft into the main bearings evenly. Forcing it with a hammer can cause the crank webs to shift, knocking it out of true and causing premature vibration and bearing failure.
