Making 1995 kx250 work in 1998 kx250 frame

Yes, it will require the newer shift forks. I got a new new parts :mrgreen: I ordered new cases, 1998 transmission ( got new gear shift mechanism with it), 98' rear brake bracket and that's all I can think of for now. But I was really happy about the 98 transmission with their notorious first gear!!! Gonna go ahead and get a 98 power valve, magneto, wiring harness, carb, cdi and ignition coil. Will get started on building the bottom end Monday. Taking my oldest son and nephew riding this weekend🤘🤘. The cylinder I got needs bored bad, but I may get a new sleeve put in so I can start fresh. So after I get the sleeve taken care of I will start building the cylinder. It came stripped of all the power valve stuff. So if any of you guys need 93 motor parts I will have them.

Here's somebody who had to stuff a 94 motor into a 93 frame. They had to cut down the 94 swingarm to make it work. https://thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/386159-1993-kx250-motor-in-1994-frame/
Egossett87:
Believe me. I looked into it. But if I cut my swingarm I would have to get custom bearings made every time I need to replace them. But no worries now.

Had a good time at haspen acres in laurel Indiana yesterday! My son and nephew had a great time. So today I'm starting on the engine for the kx. Before I I start tossing in the guts I'm going to sandblast the cases and spray them with a close to factory silver as I can. Yes I know they are bare metal but I want them to look brand spanking new. I tried the eagle mag wheel cleaner on my 400ex and it still had the stained color to it so I'm painting this one. So I'm gonna paint the case haves and all the covers here in the next hour or so and let them get good and dry before I load the guts in

You could send your cases to Sandblaster and have him Vapour Blast them. They will look better than new without the paint.
