Reddy:
I'll apologise before I start - I couldnt find a KX250AF forum :(

I own a 2007 RM139, and have looked at puttnig the engine into an RMZ chassis. That was until at the weekend I was offered a blown up 2007 KXF250 bike for little to no money!
I have also found a KX250 engine, with electrics and carb for decent money, so this is going to be my project this winter.

Does anyone have any advise on where to start?
After reading other threads it looks like the exhaust is the most awkward part of the project. Anyone know of a good exhaust to start with?

Thanks in advance

This is a good place for your post, don't worry about it.

I don't think the pipe will be an issue on a 250/250f conversion, in my opinion the airboot will be the most difficult issue, that is depending on the year of motor, there could be headstay issues as well. nothing that can't be overcome. I may do the same project this winter if I have time, have most of the components already just short time.

Reddy:
Right ok, the engine i've got doesnt come with an exhaust, so i'll just try and get a standard one.

The engine is 2004, i'm gonna start by getting the swinging arm bolt and then take it from there.

I'll try and take pictures on the way and keep you all updated.

Reddy:
Picked up my donor chassis this morning.
Engine should be with me by Friday - have a good weekend then to start the work.

Reddy:
Right i stripped the KXf down to the bare basics yesterday so once my engine arrives I can drill it and try to get it centred.
