Put it on Craigslist and go buy a 2-stroke.

Probably a Larger rear sprocket, flywheel weight and take a 1/2 inch off each bar end and you are good to go.

Drop the fork tube down to 12 mm else the beast won't turn.

The rear shock also needs serious help. The initial part of the valving is way to soft and rides low in the stroke.

Put a pro circuit link arm on it. It is the single best mod for a KX.

Remove gas cap and place KX250 under it.











I stole that from someone, but forgot who. Lee maybe?

Most important thing: get the suspension re-valved for off road work, your weight and skill level.

Also get the bark busters, skidplates etc needed and Bob's yer' uncle!

Oh and btw, stfu noob!
