New/old 500 rider
Kaw391:
Just picked up an couple bikes and gonna start a project. 2006 KX 250F and a hacked up 88 KX 500. Let the fun begin!
Any and all help/advice will be appreciated greatly
Kaw391:
I stand corrected thanks to this site. I have an 86 KX 500. Bought it site unseen and already ran into enough that I'm about to scrap this idea. Stripped drain plug. Lots of in weld for a fix. That's only one of the many flaws so far.
Anyone need anything let me know. Don't have much but have wheels, brakes, and forks. Radiators hold water but aren't pretty.

98% of the KX drain plugs are striped. if that deters you. your in for a hard road without buying NEW cases from oem.
Kaw391:
That's not a deterrent. Guess its just one of several and many more expected to find. Spitting cases today to see what all I find.
Actually the way they fixed it was pure genius. They actually JB Welded a nut to the cases to screw the new drain plug in.
