Re: KX GURU Racing kx500 Engine in a 2016 KTM 250 SX PUMPKIN SEEDS BUILD
Any time you put together a prototype you can expect to run into some issues...
This is a minor issue that will only effect you if you are using the TSR cases with the Panthera E-Start.
As you can see there is quite a gap between the cases and the starter housing.
The Panthera starter housing has a lip around the outside edge.
The lip goes most of the way around.
I suspect that it is there for alignment.
The issue is that part of the lip hits on the case.
So a little material has to removed from the starter housing lip area.

I've got the starter housing ready to machine... Except I put a piece of tape over the vent area that is not shown in this pic..
In this pic you can see the area of the Engine cases that is interfering with the starter housing.
Here is what a stock case looks like in the same area.
As you can see it has much more recess in it then does the TSR cases do.

If you decide to do this project yourself but you don't have a milling machine, You can use a drill press, hand grinder, porting tool, Dremel, or a hand file Or, you could contact Sebastian before you buy a E-Start and ask him if he would be willing to machine that area off for you..
Here is what I used..

The engine cases TSR products Australia
The 2 piece clutch cover I made.
The Electric Starter is from Panthera in canada
The titanium fasteners are from all over the world but mostly China, US, and the UK

It's time for some changes...
First step... Get rid of the ridge around the kick lever shaft output area.
Next thing is to get rid of the splash guard for the filler plug..
Cut number 1.
Cut number 2
A little mill/drill work..

(In your best Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) unprogrammed mimetic polyalloy... liquid metal...
I have never tried this product... We'll see how it works..

After prepping the cover I taped the back side to keep the material in place..
Because it Oregon... and it's cold and raining outside, I used the over to keep the temps up...
After applying the filler I let it sit for about 5 minutes then pulled the tape off...
Then I put it in the oven but left the door wide open to keep from over heating it.
My oven only goes down to 170f and that may be a bit warm
