Title: Hi! New Aussie KX250 Owner
Post by: Adam on June 10, 2012, 10:43:17 PM

Hi everyone,
Just picked up a reasonably rough '85 KX250D1. This will be the first Kawaski resto for me. Back when I was a kid, my first ever new bike was an '85 KX80E3 - must be something with those '85 models :?.

I will have lots of questions to ask (and parts to look for too) as I set about making this look like brand new again. Not too many around down here in Aus. I will post up some pics of it shortly.

Cheers
Adam

Welcome mate,
Were you based.
i found it near impossible to get chit for my 87 500, the local Kawasaki shop had no listings for 1992 & down.
Yes that's an Aussie dealer no part lists or info for the old bikes.
Hello USA, their a good mob.
Join a VMX club, i did that & through there network i was off & running.
Good luck, & nothing beats the feeling of turning up to the track on a clean old school bike & letting her ripp.
