Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)
Kx125 af
sandblaster:
I'm 6' and 220.
When I hit the sand on a 125 it bogs down and is hard to ride.
Up to 3rd gear it's fine.
As soon as I hit 4th that's when I start having trouble.
This is especially true when I get into the whoop sections.
I guess if you ride in the dirt it would be fine.
Now my Buddie who is 5' 8" and weights 165 can scream on it.
As far as weight of the bike, I don't know as I have never done a chassis comparison.
I have some engine weights recorded but nothing smaller then a 250cc.
I will have to start doing some weight recordings on chassis.

Hmmm I may have to look into trying this. I know it made my 250 alot more enjoyable to ride. I was just thinking it would be fun to try since I've seen the 200 in a 250f conversion.
