Title: kx500 into kx250f
Post by: bruuuuup on May 27, 2010, 10:57:22 AM

I have a 97 kx500 motor being built and I was wondering if there is any modifying to the swing arm motor mount. I know the hole has to be drilled out to a 17mm but will the motor fit in between the stock spacers in the swing arm the way its supposed to. The bike is a 2009 kx250f   
Thanks for any help, Nate

As far as I know the 09 engine is more or less the same as an 07 or even 04.
If you ask  me, it fits.

I don't Know, I only have experience with the 09 chassis. I'm sure you could make it happen my 09 chassis was a very tight squeeze, I can't see the 06 chassis being any tighter. Take a few measurements of the cradle area and go down to ur local dealer and compare.
