I forgot you had a 04! You have all you need right there. Atleast for the mock up. As long as nothing changed between the position of the intake on the 88 500 cylinder versus my 02 500 cylinder it should work fine.

I bought one on eBay yesterday, and the guy got it boxed up and shipped in an hour. :-o It should be here Friday, so I'll be able to fit it (and the new clutch) this weekend and possibly ride this beast next weekend. Getting pretty pumped!
dave916:
Why not try and make something out of thick rubber 1/4 inch , gives alot more movement when fiting carb ,the kx has smallesh air filter so could be pushed back into the airbox a little
what wrong with clutch?

zz3gmc has done an 04, and he just put a plate across the air box and used the 500 air boot. He said it was a simple bolt up. The 03 and 04 air boxes are different, so I think that is why his was so easy and mine wouldn't work at all.
The clutch is just fried. It will move the bike, but any additional throttle just causes slippage. I adjusted on the perch for a couple of hours, and couldn't make it any better.

rob is the man with the right knowledge to the kx250 - R - frames 03 and 04 .. its an interesting fact with the airboxes ... 8-)
meanwhile a pic of my modification on the 86 motor that i sqeezed in the 93 frame .. intake itself is a brandnew 87-2004 kx500 intake boot... the airboot is oem kx250 1993 ... i had to lean it a little bit downwards to get the carb in the perfect position ...
maybe it helps a little bit for some inspiration..
... and lets see some pics of your progress... :wink:
