I bought my kx500 in 1990, rode some motocross, but mostly harescrambles up untill 97. then I had my bike stolen out of my backyard, but I recovered it 4-5 months latter when the guy had in the back of his truck on the way to the hospital. I had the fork seals replaced and set it up in the shed. It's been there up until last week when I took it out and washed for the first time in 9 years.

I thinking of looking to update the forks with new ones from a later model 250 if I can find any in my price range.

thanks for the link, but I'm looking for newer forks, say maybe 04 or newer.

I had saw on a local web site that there isa listing for 04 forks for kx250 for sale. I know I would have to relace the tripleclamps but I'm also looking for protaper bars to replace the stock ones.

it's kind of rusted in places, like on the frame where your boots would rub and a few of the bolts. I'm going to tear it all the way down to the frame and have it painted, and then replace everything I can as I build it backup.
