Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Wanted: 89 kx250 tank
Foxx4Beaver:
if you're worried about denting it...that should tell you right there,don't buy it!...UNLESS your plan is to keep it in your living room as a show piece,and never ride it.Not sure what kind of riding you do,but one failed hillclimb,and the bike tumbles back down the hill,there's a good chance it'll get beat up.
Plus,if you're worried about it all the time..it's gonna keep you from riding the bike to your full potential...you'll always be favoring it.
If it were me...I'd keep waiting for an OEM plastic one....you have to ask yourself,is it something you absolutely "need",or just want.Now,God knows I spend money faster than I make it,but $500+ is alot of money to spend on something you don't want to get dented in a sport where it's next to impossible to prevent.Not trying to advise you how to spend your money :-D...just giving my thoughts on your concern about dents.
bilger69:
Thanks Foxx! That's gotta be the best thing I heard all day I would have to say your right. I better just sit back and relax and keep searching. I spend money quicker than I get and I think I have an addiction to spending money on my bike lol. The tanks is a "I really want and gotta have" but sure is not a NEED. So I best calm down and wait for a plastic one.
Foxx4Beaver:
no problem...like riproost said,"keep diggin and you'll find one".
I remember a year and a half ago I was searching e-bay everyday..several times a day..for about 8 months looking for a 98-2000 OEM green seet.Finally found one that was almost new for $50!....patience 8-)
flem469:
Is there a difference in the 88 and 89 KX250 tank?
Foxx4Beaver:
yes,the 88 is bigger/bulkier...that's why the 89 tank is hard to find and sought by many.
