Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)
1990 K5 into a 2006 KXF 250 frame...
Dutch-K5 Fan:
The kxf450 doesn't have 18" wheel the klx450 has.
If it's right your kx500 has a 19" and 2.15" wide rim, the same as a kxf 450.
Your kxf250 has a 1.85 rim like the kx125, because it's a 125 more or less.
You could use the 500 rim if it looks nice.
The biggest difference in 06-10 suspension is the dlc coating in 09 if I'm correct.
The bigger blader is a plus in heat build up in the shocker.

Here is a pic of most of the stuff I have so far.... the front forks are like brand new :mrgreen:

Here is a pic of my 1990 k5... I'm thinking of buying another engine for the AF. It would be sad to see this things heart ripped out...

.... but it would make me happy if you'd sell the TYracing tank and pipe to me.
Charlie500:
yeah :| what is different from the 1990 engine to the 2004? i found a 04 bike around here that is really clean i was thinking about getting for the motor. Mine runs good but it is 14 years older... I don't know if i would really get much by parting my bike out if i used its engine. I also already put 1200 bucks into the suspenion on the 1990 with 99 forks and shock. I don't know its a ketch 22... I'm still undecided. It would be sweet to have 2 kx 500's in the garage though.
