Also I am looking for the outer most clutch cover for an 88-89 KX250 if anyone has one, mine is cracked and repaired with JB weld. Thanks for any info........Jerry
I like boyesen reeds myself.

The muffler end should be removeable, pull out the packing ( looks like steel wool ) and repack it, available at many shops.

If the repair is not leaking, its likely fine.
If a repair is done correctly with JB that stuff is incredibly strong.....if you do want to replace it, try cycle salvage yards, call around and you may find one.
