Title: Options for rear wheel for a kx 250 1989
Post by: golash on January 25, 2012, 10:01:16 AM

Hi

I`m ready to install wheel bearings but I`m not certain I should even use the wheel assembly.
The spokes are frozen and 35 percent of them are loose. The holes that receive the nipples are
elongated, not all but quite a few. I`m wondering when Kawasaki changed the rear wheel specs.
I see a used wheel on ebay but its for a 1996. I could get a new rim and spokes and re-lace the wheel.
Is it a difficult process. Need some help from the experts.

Here is the short story.
You can use:
89-02 KX125, KX250.
89-04 KX500.
89-94 KDX200.
Rim widths will be either 1.85 for the 125's or 2.15 for the bigger bikes.
Rim diameters will be either 18" or 19" depending on the year and model.

Sandblaster, what book do you speak of? Sounds like some reading material I need. I recently traded a ps3 for a 99 kx250 and you can tell....

Hello.
By "the book" I am talking about what the factory part numbers show for interchange.
The measurements, Hub ID's, ect that I posted are taken from bikes I have parted out.
The info I have recorded can be found here:
http://oem-cycle.com/BikeIdentification.aspx (http://oem-cycle.com/BikeIdentification.aspx)
As you can see, some bikes I have a lot more info on then others.
I add new info almost every week.
If there is info that you need and you don't see it there, shoot me an email and I'll see what I can find for you.
Thanks.
