Right i have sold my 50 124+r engine and now want to stick the money from the previous engine into the klx engine that i have now.

Im leaning towards the Takegawa 138 superhead kit with a vm26 Carb

im not after competing so i reckon this engine will give me enough power for general riding and also messing around on the tarmac

im also going to change the output shaft for a 08 kwak one and do the shift star at the same time and also put a 4 speed drum.

Im also wanting to put a takegawa manual clutch on but im wondering when i fit this should i also buy the takegawa clutch plate system as well or will the stock clutch hold up to the 138 superhead ok.

and should i also change the shift forks as well as i heard they can become worn and snap off...

You'll be very happy with the 138 superhead and the stock clutch will hold up fine for you.Throw some heavy springs in it and you'll be good.

bmsklx · 10-07-2009, 03:37 PM

agreed.... and only change the forks if damaged or severely worn...but i dont think they will be bad

Ktm640 · 10-07-2009, 04:04 PM

cool cool

Well this is what i reckon im going to do.

Takegawa 138 superhead +R

Takegawa VM26 and manifold

Takegawa KSR110 KLX110 Heavy Duty Spring Set

Takegawa KSR110 Compact Oil Cooler 4 Fin

Takegawa KSR110 KLX110 Manual Clutch Kit and primary gear

KLX110 Output Shaft genuine kawasaki 08-onwards

KLX110 Shift Drum 4 speed genuine kawasaki

Shift star not sure which one to go for though

Takegawa magnetic sump bolt

Anybody think i have missed anything that is worth adding or anybody know of any other alternative parts.

While you have it apart you might look into the CHP billet 2nd gear. If you do that and all of the other stuff you are talking about I wouldnt see any reason to ever need to split the cases agian, short of maybe a stroker crank.

hmm yeah well ill have a look at the gear when there apart is this a common failiure.

Yea, I think it is kinda a common problem. I dont know if it happens to a lower hp motor or if it is just the higher hp ones. I have a stroked 138+R and it took 3 teeth off of 2nd gear. It started making a clicking noise while only in 2nd gr.

So just got the 138 kit delivered today and it came with a S20 cam so now the choice on carbs still undecided do i get a VM26 or PE28 carb.

benthepro · 11-03-2009, 12:34 PM

26mm probs be best for 138 cos only small size motor

6 disk clutch pull lot beter if you have the money do it all in one go and your be away yeah i would put a billet 2nd gear in too

jRob409 · 11-03-2009, 02:17 PM
