1994 KX60 rebuild/refurbish

Coop,
Make sure you post some pics of the Great Big Smile on that lucky kid once he sees it for the first time (Think we all had a day like that). It's great for him to have an Uncle as yourself to invest all of the time (& dollars) to share a passion. Kept me out of trouble as a youth.
Throttle Junky,
Your generosity is what makes this the place to hang out, members like you are not easy to find!

Coop:
Oh yeah I'll take plenty of pics, and hope to get some video maybe of his first ride on it.

Nice thread...kinda crazy all the parallels between this build and the one I'm doing for my son. I bought a '99 KX60 with a rotten crank and trashed top-end back in September '09.
Working two jobs I haven't had much time to devote to the KX60 project. Over several months I've managed to recover the seat, yank the engine, clean up the roller pretty well, and install a new rear knobby. I have big plans for the original engine, but in the meantime I decided to bite the bullet and get my son an engine off of eBay (seller has over 200 feedback, all positive, and he says that the engine was rebuilt from the crank out). I really wanted to have the bike ready to ride when my son got back from church camp, unfortunately the engine has yet to arrive. Worse yet, the seller hasn't answered any of my messages in over a week. So the bike may have to wait for the 70.65cc big bore I'm building out of the original engine.
Coop:
Man I hope that seller comes through with your engine!
diesel:
No doubt. I paid using PayPal though, and I believe there's some sort of consumer protection available through them...
