I just purchesd a 2001 kx 85 the clutch is bad so i just want too do a conplete rebuild so it is as reliable as can be and was wondering if anyone can give me a quick run down on how much the top end bottom end evrything i should replace should run me and i was also wanting to do a minor upgrade if anyone has any suggestions on aftermatket parts would be grately appreciated also the price of i where too buy parts and take it too a shop for labor

First, the KX 85's are notorius for having the nikasil flake off. Its not if but when. Since you are going through it, getting the cylinder replated is a must. Millennium or Langcourt are options. Bottom and top end will run about $250-$350 (kits usually include gaskets). Cylinder re-plate is around $200. I really dont know what bad means with the clutch. Make sure you are getting any additional gaskets that may not be in a crank kit. Finally, if you dont get the cylinder re-plated (unless it has already been done), in my opinon, the rest is a waste.

That doesn't mean the clutch is bad. Means the cable has too much slack, the rod is worn, or the basket has notches in it.
