Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Steel Frame Conversion (SFC)
2001 RM250/ 1994 KX500 conversion. The "Kawasuki RM500"
mikectanker:
Case has been machined for the swing arm bolt. Went to the shop to look it over.
Sprockets are aligned perfect.(I did have to play with the positioning of the stock shims to get it right)
They are going to try to use the stock rm250 front motor mounts.
Just have to cut and reweld the bottom mounts.
Front and bottom mounts will need shimmed up.
Looks like all I need to do to the service honda pipe is cut and reposition the front mounting tab. Then fab for the silencer to line up and slip on.
I ordered a compression release from the Stihl dealer today $16.
Ordered a tusk oversize front rotor kit $110
oil seal kit$15
devol enduro skid plate $83.50

I am waiting to post more pics. My 1 1/2 year old
Was addicted to tractor videos while I was on the road
In the big truck last week. Data limit is close. Resets on the 7th.

So, how's it coming along? Lots of pics needed, I'm considering doing a similar build myself, RM2250 2007/KX500 engine, so any details much appreciated!

Just got home from being on the road in the big truck all week.
Also holding up the bike build is the fact that I am getting married in 8 days.
The shop should have the two piece clutch cover done.
Engine mounts are done.
I'm waiting on my cylinder from Eric Gore. I think it shipped a d he got it done faster than expected.
I need the cylinder to make a new head stay and modify the mounts on my pipe.
I am waiting on the compression release from the Stihl dealer still.
Got the shock and forks wrapped in green chrome.
Tons of new parts pretty much all in.
I need to contact rekluse and order the right clutch with the right springs.
Need to contact Scott's and get a green steering damper kit.
Need to ride the bike and figure out what bend of fast flex bars to get in green with the bent crossbar for the steering stabilizer.
At some point I am going to get more pics up.between the road and wedding. I'm not expecting to have it finished until after the 20th.
And I have a possible deal on another blown up KX500.

Got a complete 1990 Kx500 for spare parts today from a local shop.
Motor in it is completely disassembled and needs a top end job. Crank is out and rebuilt. Has a v force reed cage.
$250 for the whole thing. So now I've got 2 rolling chassis to get rid of.
I still don't have my cylinder back, but I dropped the spare off at the fab shop. I just need to get the head stay and exhaust fabricated to work. Pics coming some day.....
