Maintenance & Technical > KX250 / KX125
My 1999 KX250 Build
Foxx4Beaver:
No problem, hopefully they're helpful.
On the plus side...that was a relatively cheap mod. I got the master for $40 on ebay, and had to buy a new OEM lever and banjo bolt for it.
mjowen:
Yep...exactly why i'm going to try and just use the current setup instead of doing new.
once i get this bike "completed" and i need to do brake maintenance, then i'll most likely do a new front master cylinder/new lever/new lines - that way i know everything done. Right now the brakes are in working order so i'm just trying to use what is there for now.
the new lever and the adjustment bolt was only 15 bucks so we'll see if that works...
mjowen:
Lever came in today and fits great...
Unfortunately the water pump gasket didn't come in so hoping that'll be in tomorrow so I can attempt to start it for the first time!
Foxx4Beaver:
How do the brakes feel?
mjowen:
Brakes feel fantastic!!
Little update...she's all done minus the graphics! The gasket came in Saturday so I picked it up, filled it with coolant, filled the tank, and kicked it over...she fired RIGHT up. Idles great, sounds great, and runs even better!
I rode it a little bit up to temp and let it cool then did it again and let it cool - havent really "ripped" into it but she flies...no issues so far!
I also ended up picking up two more bikes from a friend of mine - will be picking them up the weekend of the 13th/14th. Bought his 2004 Honda CRF250 and his brothers 2001 Yamaha YZ125. Stands, extra plastics, extra top ends for both, and a few other accessories - paying 2k for the pair and all the stuff. Both bikes only have maybe 30 hours on them. The yz125 has a brand new top end with about an hour on it and the crf has a new top end with just a couple hours.
Not sure which bike i'll be selling but i dont have a need for three so i'll cross that bridge later haha - gf is looking forward to learning to ride as well!
