Heres my 2009 KX250F bike, the motor was a tight fit but I got her to work with the factory Y piece in the head stem with some modifying of course. Man what a giant motor this thing is, now I am on to making some motor mounts for it and hopefully the motor will still come out after there welded in :?. I already got the airbox ready to go so all thats left is the rads and some mounts for the motor and pipe not to much longer I dont think. I traded the 09 250f motor that was in the bike for a 97kx500 motor that mcr suspension had (a local race shop) . They rebuilt the hole thing matched the cases ported it out v-force3, brand new everything from the crank and piston even the whole tranny so it should be a really nice unit. I will post more pics when its all done!
 




kxpegger:
Looks like your off to a great start! What did you use for frame rails? They look like they're still one piece?

bruuuuup:
I used j fabs rails but I had to use them backwards cause the 250f frame was a lot diff. But it turned out looking perfect.

jbersano:
Great Project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :mrgreen:

BDI:
Very cool. thank you for posting your build pictures. I know it's easy to forget to take pictures as you go but it sure is a huge favor to the rest of us. what kind of amperage did you find yourself welding at if you don't mind.
