Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Steel Frame Conversion (SFC)
my 2001 KX 250/500 conversion
KXDINO:
When I did my 250/500 hybrid , I used FMF 450/500 system .
The front mount I used kx250 06 rubber insulator , they seem to be stronger then the kx500 ones.
Bolted direct to orignal kx250 01 mount .The gap from insulator to FMF pipe was joined by a bit of flat alumiun held by high tensile bolts,nylon nuts worked well so far. Had to dent pipe for clearence around coolant pipe on right hand side of cyclinder.
I have a spare clutch cover with a crack on face perfect candidate for clutch cover mod, I just wondering if a
kx250/ 450 cover comes close . does anyone knows?
AJ:
cool to see it all together!
on the KXAf's we do run a different hose set up between the water pump and cylinder..
we were hand making a fitting and hosw,,
but then ended up having complete silicone hose kits made up..
i need to get the pricing for the hose kit figured out and we'll offer them to you guys who might need it..?
KXer:
AJ,
As I said in that e-mail, I would definitely be interested in a "Hose kit" once you figure out pricing.
Thanks man.
Good:
I would be too, but wondering if they would work with my stock bike before conversion.

I will be for sure. This was a quick weekend trip to shake out the bugs. I think I've shaken them out and I can complete my conversion soon. Speaking of which, any chance you will be making clutch covers, preferrably with the ability to pull just the clutch out? Your stator covers look slick.

I may be machining my stock clutch cover to do that but I think cost would keep most people from buying a billit (if you will) clutch cover. Who knows?

Here's a picture of my removeable clutch cover, it was way more work than it was worth, if someone actually had one for sale I think I'd buy one.
This is on a 05 250f conversion, pretty sure it would work on an aluminum frame as well.
