Making 1995 kx250 work in 1998 kx250 frame
Egossett87:
Ok, so I ordered a 1995 swingarm this morning. When it gets here I'm gonna see if will fit the motor casing. If it does I'm gonna take measurements on it and the 95. If they are all the same the 1998 linkage and shock should work. And like I said. I just started with a frame 5 months ago and have been picking up parts from time to time. But I will keep you guys posted. Hopefully I'll get it right and help another rider down the road who's doing this as well

Ok. Ive been busy with the kids sports and vacation. Finally home and have some time to give some updates. The new swingarm I ordered from eBay didn't fit and I lost a lot of momentum for the project. After some time away from it I went back and went over things. Ran the numbers on the motor casing and the motor is a 1993. The guy I purchased the motor from said it was a 95 and I took his word for it. So that was my fault. But anyways, I have the right parts on the way and moving forward with it. Not sure how to post pics on here yet.

Ok. I made a photobucket account and loaded a few pics in there. Here she is so far

Ok, so I have to admit defeat.... after a lot of research and talking to other people and taking measurements from other bikes and machine shops it is impractical to try to make that motor work. So the final solution.... I ordered 1998 cases. Less headache and won't have to get anything milled or custom made.... I guess everything will be smooth sailing now.

98 cases will require 96-01 shift forks, 96-00 shift fork shafts, 97-02 shift drum.
I can't think of anything else you will need but don't be surprised if you do.
You will use one less case bolt as well :-o
