Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
SCORE!!!!!
alan:
I think I would like to powdercoat the wheels and frame blue to match the shocks and do a lot of polishing on the swing arm and frame. I have a large tank for it and go with Gnarly pipe,reeds,spacer and flywheel weights, maybe i will light it as well. Anyway that's my plans so far!
MadKaw:
so do ya'll know if any of my '01 250 parts will go on this bike?
want to put the rear shock, cdi, swingarm, anything to update it?
so would any of it go on, or should I start rebuilding its stock shock, and just start refreshing the bearings and fork oil and stuff?
gowen:
I don't believe any of your 01 KX250 parts will work. The KX500 is a pre-93? KX250 never updated. Best bet to send those shocks off OR place the KX500 motor in your KX250 frame.. ;-)
MadKaw:
yeah its a 93 and I just didn't know if any of it would work. but putting the motor in the 250 frame is an interesting idea. I've the great writups on the kx500af, but I haven't seen one on just the regular kx250 frame. any cutting of the frame required?

I just recently sent Alan an a scanned in article about someone that put a KX500 engine into a steel framed 2000 KX 250.
I can e-mail the PDF file of the article if you want.
Just send me your e-mail addy and I will do it.
Regards Scott.
