hmmm...if that's the case, if you have the time, money, and the means....you could make yourself a sweet Billy Liles style bike out of it 8-)....something to let ponder around the mind.

great idea... a billy liles team johnson kx250 8-)
and you should know this is one of the 3 last real kx500sr factory-gp-bikes with a lot of special features, like 4 speed gearbox , 2peace-clutch-cover, cylinderhead for the parallel cooling system , special made factory exhaust, engine performance like a dream .. i dont know, what i would give to own one of these bikes... :-D

I have been thinking down those lines. Even getting it taken out to 300cc would be good. I have been looking at some 92 barrels on ebay but people always sell the powervalve assembly seperate which ends up costing more. I did find a 93 full barrel and head with KIPS in place but that was the year they changed the head and I think it may be a plumbing nightmare. First thing is to get it stripped down and the frame repaired.
Thanks for the help so far guys!

the 93-cylinder would fit without big problems to the 90 motor bottom... but you need also the 92-2004 crank because the cylinder is longer and needs also the longer stroke...
to do the older cylinder to a newer motorbottom is easier, because it needs only a spacer to lift up the cylinder to the right height.
i think you should complete rebuild your engine or make a complete change to a newer 250-engine.. but if you rebuild your engine, you will always know what you have ... most of the used engines and parts on the market need a very good look or rebuild...
