Cleaning up an old KX

(1/3) > >>

NyNeX:
Hey everyone. Been a while since I've been on a board. I use to be very active on vintage honda CB forums, but have since sold all of my street bikes. Both of my sons mess around on dirt bikes as I did when I was a kid, I felt left out and scored a 1991 KX250. Cleaned the carb and it runs strong, but needs the kickstarter fixed. It slips unless I pull the shaft outward then make sure it engages the teeth.

Anyway, here it is. Wish me luck! Also, I'm looking for an aftermarket exhaust if anyone has an leads. I haven't been able to find anything.

Welcome aboard Nynex.
Good lookin '91...as I'm sure you have already, just keep scouring e-bay for an exhaust...something will turn up eventually.
You're kickstart issue should be a simple fix...possibly a worn out spring, but you won't know for sure til ya crack it open and have a look.

Thanks man. I got it cheap too, so I couldn't pass it up. I am on Long Island so we can't ride to much here, but I am going to trailer our bikes to PA to hit some trails when it warms up. I'm going to pull it apart soon and make a list and start ordering parts!

Do you know what year exhausts will fit? Is it only 90-91??

I believe so...they're the only "H" models.

Thanks. Looks like it's going to be a tough find. I was reading a pipe like the FMF gnarly is what I want for trails.
