Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Steel Frame Conversion (SFC)
KX250 Chassis With 500 Motor
hillclimber147:
I did a 97 KX250 conversion. If I had to do it again I'd look for a 2003 or newer 125 or 250. Personally for me steel is easier to work with than aluminum, and the 03 and newer KX's have the head mount to the rear like the 500. I don't know if the tank clears but if it does the head mount would be much easier to build.

I would stay away from a 03, it`s a one shot wonder, different than the 02 and different than an 04-07.

OK so I finally have pictures to post
The width of the aluminum part of the swingarm is 49.7 mm s, The spacers are cut down to 45.2 mm, stock is 53.9.
I have more pictures of the motor mount and the head stay if you want to see them.
