Long story short, some friends have been bugging me to go riding... I have a motror to build and dont have 3K for a 450 F... Buddy had this 97 KX250 in his garage as a backup. Told me If I didnt come get it he was going to leave it in my driveway. He did.
Buddy wanted me to start riding with them.. He had this thing in his way. SO... Now its in mine...
400 dollar 1997 KX 250:
Already had:
Boysen Reeds
FMF Fatty gold pipe
Xtra paddle tire
Im in it so far:
Rear wheel bearings (They were fuccccked)
Air filter
Clutch lever
Trans oil (Cleaned the shit out of the box and checked the basket as its super grabby when cold... all good)
Grips
Silencer packing
A good cleaning...
Changed its old ass gas to Castor 927 and a half and half of Q16 (I had laying around) and 92 (It makes me hard THINKING about how good it smells). WOuld run good on the choke but die off it after warm. made sense... Ranon the choke so figured main jet was fucked up. After talking to Keith and my gut... Completely disassembled the carb and cleaned the fuck out of it (Main jet had a big chunk of shit in it).
Fired her up and its a mean bitch. Stands straight up in 3rd with me standing on the pegs.
Forks are sprung light, so I have fucked with the dampening and well see how it is for now... Feels alot better they were diving hard. Dont seem so bad now. Ill deal with tha tlater. Rear susp is good.
Only thing left to do is bleed the front brake better (That or it needs the master seal replaced) EDIT: Ended up replacing the MC with a CRF 450 master with an ASV lever on it I got off Ebay. Bitch stops on a dime.
Got it like this

Pipe was beat to fuck, so welded the small end shut, made a coupler with a compressor fitting.... filled it with 50 PSI and blew the big ass dents out with some heat via MAP gas

Im in it under 500 with new plugs I bought

Currently full of Q16 and castor 927 Smells better than sex. Loves me a 2 stroker smoker. Bitch is fast.
-
There is nothing better than the sound/smell of a 2 stroke.
-
looks cool at least you got one new enough to have inverted forks even if it is steel frame.
i had a yz450f for a while that i raced last year. i ended up getting rid of it and now i have a cr250r. i like it more just because its lighter and you don't get tired so fast during the hard enduro races. even if the 450 is way faster.

Spiker you and Tmathis have matching bikes.

2 strokes are cool untill you own one and ride alot. :?: I have had my CRF250x for a little over a year, but i plan to sell it mabey this summer for what i paid for it then find another low hour bike.

I love riding 2 strokes :O)

I disagree, I came off a 4 stroke ktm, onto a ktm 300 2 stroke, the 2 stroke has been better in every way for woods riding.

Is the 300exc a lot smoother then the 380? I rode my uncles 380 and hated it, it hits way to hard when it comes on the pipe for a single track trail bike. I'd prefer a 4 stroke for pretty much everything. I hate that numbing feeling you get in your hands from 2 strokes, and the noise, and mixed fuel, and fucking with reeds...
1978 xr75 ftw

Yes way smoother onto the pipe, and it will pull down below idle when lugging along in a slow technical section. There is more vibration then my 525 for sure. Also a tenth of the maintenance.
-
Well that is what you get for buying KTM's :P
-
LOL, I love my 300. I will have it until someone comes out with an FI two stoke, as carb's are still gay.

i like them all really as long as they have modern suspension. lol.
i like my cr250 better overall than my yz450r just because its lighter and lower to the ground, easier to control. plus my fat ass gets tired fucking with the 450. especially trying to get it started when its being a bitch

Spiker. that exhaust brace will break that you made. I have an fmf bracket for it if you want. came off the built 250 I blew up.

Ill take it, but this one aint breakin dude ;O)
-
Where do you guys ride at? That's a smoking deal on the bike, something cheap to get you into the hobby. I have zero complaints about my crf450x, piped and jetted it's stupid fast, just doesn't tractor like my xr400.

2 stroke, it will
-
Oh god a 2 stroke needing a rebuild. Might take an entire hour out of my day lol.
-
yes you are right, its about $100 and 1-2 hours of work depending on how fast you do it.
BUT
when you're 20 miles in the middle of fucking no where and you lose compression for no apparent reason. that FUCKING SUCKS!
-
dont drive 20 miles away on a 2stroke... duh
-
Some of the races I do have 50+ mile loops
-
Nice looking bike!

holy fuck your as slow as i am :P
-
Jesus fucking christ... How many plugs do you go through.... LOL... The pipe... HIT IT
-
Shes done.
Put a new GRFX kit and gripper seat cover on it, new side plastics and a USFS spark arrestor... Also took the stock silencer since it was fucked up and shortened the can to FMF shorty length and perforated the core a bit more and repacked it. Noticable difference, comes on the pipe harder than the arrestor or Stock muffler but since I always ride somewhere I need a damn arrestor... I just leave this one on :O)
Also had to replace the clutch cable. Im in it under 780 total. Runs as good as it looks. Hasnt gone through a plug since I got the air screw and idle dialed in.
Stripped down new ANSWER SA PRO-2 installed

what area is that in? ^
I have an 88 xr200. 13hp, no valve shims, no coolant, fun and simple for a 25 year old bike. I put on an aluminum swingarm and newer crf250r brakes front and rear and also have ktm 85sx forks and ohlins rear shock to finish installing.

Its in oregon

I just bought a TE450 a couple days ago.. going thru it now just to get familur and change a few things i dont like. been quite a while since ive been on a bike

Thinking about buying this 09 KX250f without motor ex electronics etc and doing an AF swap.
I found one local... If I can jew it cheap enough its going to happen. Be so sick with this motor in it

stop fucking around and learn to be fast on the bike that you have.its already to much bike for you. you dont need more

Buy a bike. Then talk. Until then.... Lay in bed all day crying that you cant find a job faggot. Dont worry about what I do, pay your fucking rent,and fix your shitbox.
My thing is I really dont want JUST a 4 stroke. I want the 2T as well because 2 strokes are a FUCK TON of fun to ride. Period. If you even TRY to debate it youre about ten times the faggot I thought you were. And thats BAD... But I cant justify having both.
The 2T motor in a newer frame would be sick as fuck, if you dont get it... I understand.
Kisses
:-*
-
you can still buy new 2 strokes.... might as well do that rather than nigger rig one together unless its a cr500af
-
KX 2 T motor in a KX250f frame is pretty fuckin straighforward. I know of a roller too.. It would be perfect.
Anyways. I love the bike OI have. Mitches Husky is nice, saw it today.... Cant wait to go ride!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ridden a 450?? These things will make a 2t 250 look silly. I definitely understand the 2t thing, i own both, but i wouldn't waste your time on a swap until you find a kx500 motor. I'm stuck between either picking up a yz490, or an lt500 to build into an old school sand bike/quad

Yup ridden one, cool, fast.... just different... But, Im just still a 2 t oil burning smoke show lover. I couldn't have just the 450 and be happy. Id need the 2t as well... Its just different. I like them too much. I can live fine with JUST the KX and no 450, would like to have both, but if HAD to pick either... Id rather have the 2T, and the 450 Sure as fuck dont make a good running 250 2T look "silly". Faster yes... Silly? No. NOwhewreer near enough to where ID sell the 250 to have JUST the 4T...
-
On that note... Updates... Rebuilt the forks... New bushings seals and RACE TECH .48 kg springs... Went up to a 7.5 WT fork oil too... What a difference. Needs a heavier spring in the rear. Can feel it now that the front is right.
When I took the forks apart MAYBE 750 ml of "Fluid" (and I use the term loosely) came out. Spec is around 630 cc EACH LOL... and alot of it was water :O). Seals where done, bushings were really worn. SO the rebuild was definitively due. 1st time doing it. Not that hard. What a difference.
Total into bike: 1000 +- a few bucks with all the new shit. Things fast and runs like a top. Suspension feels SHIT TONS better... Can tell the rear needs a spring now though... Need to figure out which one to get.

Dont want to hear shit about the motor being in pieces on the bench in the background. Got off my ass Saturday and put it together. Waiting on Comp to make my clutch, and get the head back from porting. I have EVERYTHING to put it together.

You all are some silly niggers.

Lets go riding tomarrow! or this weekend. I received the last of parts for the wifes banshee so its going to get a trial run this weekend most likely, nothing like a ground up rebuild of a bike that was never maintained and left outside in the weather, looks like a brand new bike now.

Only place a 450 makes a 250 2t look stupid is in the gravel pit. Just picked up a sportsman 800 so I don't have to pack my husky 266xp on my back any more when I go to cut trail.
