Will a 2006 rmz250 work as a donor?

Anything is possible, depending on the machinist/fabricator/welder.  If your not one of those 3 then it only comes down to $$dollars$$.

Be different, go for it, keep us posted.

Great option, they handle like they're on rails.  One of the best stock rear suspensions out there.  I've been researching these for a while now also.  I really want a steel frame, so I was looking at the 02-03 RM125s for a swap, but the newer bikes handle great.

It's the same as a kxf 04/05.
There some hybrids out here.

P.S. Shouldn't this be moved to KX500SF?
