Hey Guys thought i might start sharing the build of my 2000 kx250 i really like the look of the 2000 splitfire bikes and the bike is new enough that it will also be great fun to ride originally i was just going to rebuild it and put a sticker kit on the bike and of i go ........But it turns out i'm not very good at controlling myself and once i started my treasure hunt for parts well let's just say i'm lucky my wife doesn't ask to many questions about my bikes.However compared to other bikes on this forum it won't come close to that but for me i am trying to find the balance between a nice looking bike and something that will also be super fun to ride.
This is what i brought 2000 kx250 i payed 1400 clams for it
Being in Australia it was not easy to work out how to get my frame done in Flo Green but a bit of scratching around and i had it sorted so i stripped the bike down made a box for parts to be hydro blasted another box which was actually really just the bin for all of the crappy parts and of the frame went to get powder coating
unfortunately for me when i stripped the bike at this point i wasn't very familiar with certain things and i saw another 2000 splitfire that was once done on this forum loved it got in touch with this person and sent him parts off of my bike to have work done any way long story short i am now down a set of hubs and brakes and a bit of engine parts sadly i am not the only victim of this person so people please be aware 99% of people into these bikes are great people but please be aware of the 1% however we all live and learn so i will continue this build for you
Like i said i wanted this bike to be nice to ride so i thought Fuck it shelled out some more dollars and purchased myself a kx450f set of kyb sss forks and a matching pro circuit triple clamp to suit. Then figured i would just drink beer with my mates and stare at it till we figure out how to make it all fit sure enough we did
ok so now we are getting to about as far as i am at for the minute this is a picture of the forks in the bike and this is the additional steering stop which i haven't yet finished but i know it will work out
And this is my Treasure Pile i have so far accumulated Like i said before 99% of people are fantastic especially the people on this Forum Thank you very kindly to those of you !
I am in desperate need of a original 2000 splitfire seat cover i don't want to use this evo mx one if i can avoid it please if you know of one email me at

I too are in process of a 2001 KX build n had my frame 2pac painted fluro but hasnt turned out like yours
Where did u get the power coat material from ????
The Shop
Which member ripped you off ?
Really sorry to hear that
Sadly to hear you lost some parts.
i have been searching high and low for parts and luckily i have been coming up with the goods !
I am going to stray a bit from a full replica but i'm not to fussed because i want to love riding this bike so i've changed up my suspension and the suspension look a bit as well
I had the shock body Kasima Coated and the Shock Shaft was bent ! so i had it straightened re chromed then sent it off to be finished in TiN I have a internal rebuild kit on order and need to get a blue spring and we good
I have a pc muffler but it had the newer style tip on it so i found on ebay a older version with the dick tip so i will restore this one and use it
And after doing a bit of searching i got lucky with a nice member of this forum and purchased a set of pc axle blocks as well yes they are a bit shabby but you get that on the big jobs and i can live with it
I have also got all of my plastics sorted out which is sweet
Another Great member has also helped me out with a set of Pc footpegs and a new kickstarter with a Ti knuckle which will be sweet as well
This took a bit to sort but you can't have a pc bike without a PC cylinder so i had the cylinder sent to Pro Circuit they had Millenium Coatings re nikosil the cylinder
They then Did a beautiful job Decking and porting the head and cylinder unfortunately the powervalves were buggered but pro circuit found me a new powervalve assembly and sent the whole lot back to me like new !
I also ordered a few months back a new set of excel black rims with Magnesium colored Talon hubs
Because a old now banned member Talked me into sending him parts to do work on. He unfortunately never gave my parts back. You can read more about it in the 'True Khi Parts' thread if you wish
I am hoping to have this bike rolling within the next 6 weeks so stay tuned
If anyone has a set of dsp frame guards please email me at mawestbury@gmail thanks
Its taken a bit of time probably a bit longer than i thought.But then I've also gotten a bit more carried away with the build then i expected.
Pit Row
I could have hugged the postman today after searching for a original seat cover i finally got one ! It needs a bit of work but the rubber is mostly good the rest can be re done I'm super excited
Now all the nuts and bolts have also been re plated
I have hadnew brackets tig welded on for a works connection cover saver and also put new tabs on the frame for a works dsp skid plate
More to come next week
Who did your hydroblasting and plating?
And where did you get the case saver from as I can't find it on works connection site
And that's not my beer or me in the picture
I'm a Carlton Dry or Scotch man myself that Vic shit gives me a headache after a few tins
Rear Shock is now built
Front forks are done
Got a new set of Wheels
And I finished the steering stop for the kx450 Tripple clamps to work with the frame.I will be doing a full motor rebuild in the next couple of weeks nice to see it start to be a bike again
