Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)
KXF 250 2007 for KX500AF

Im working on another one now. If you can weigh the frame and all its pieces, I will tell you what the difference is. That will give you an idea of the finished weight. Im thinking about a pound maybe two will be the defference.
Im thinking that you are a good month away from setting sag even if you don't sleep. :-D

Lets hope it will be done soon. Have to lurn riding the beast. Have ridden
a rmz250 for about 4 year, and a couple of times the k5. In Juni we have
a local festival cross where I, my dad, brother, uncle and lost of other help to organice.
Mostly I ride the superclass(fasted), and whant to beat mine dad's bosses.
To proof 500 2stroke are the test bike's. But it's a hardpack track.
Atleast I have a good reason to ride verry much now :-D :-D
Gone look if I can weigh the pieces for the "How To AF Handbook" :wink: :-D.

I went to Joey Bon today for my frame. His news was very good!!
But also went to my local race shop for some more backup info.
He has some more radical idea's, to go JFAB's way.
My probleme is that there is no room for the radiator/exhaust/frame. So there is more work
for me to do :x. But Rome wasn't build in one day :-)

After searching where I posted my OWN post about my AF.
I can tell that after some difficulties its going the right way.
Hope to let my frame welded next week. Made a verry nice looking billet Y section for the frame.
Only the camera doesn't work now(bast@$#).
Bought a new exhaust mufler combo for ?200,-
So FINALLY it's a coming together.
Question???
Should I use a 2000 cr250 airboot, the KX500 airboot or a kx250 one??
Because I use a KXF250 frame the rear rim is 19" 1.85?
Should I use that one or a wider 2.15 or 2.50? Like the K5 use.

I've made some pic's with my phone.
Made a billet Y section from 350x140x40mm 6082T6 alu.
Used a bandsaw and milled the rest of it. Have some pic's on the broken cam during milling. :x
