ArrowAngel KX's ( 99 KX250)

So here it is, just sharing my ongoing project.

Ill start with a little background and then go on!

I started riding in 2015, early spring in Canada, stumble across an okay looking 2002 KX125, loved the bike , had some great projects for it.



Then couple months after stumbled upon this 01 KX250, ended up selling it to a friend, was too much for me, 5'10 155lbs, novice rider.




After I sold it , did couple mods to the 125, graphics, rear shock rebuild, top end with replated cylinder, ss braided brake lines, tires ,



Last summer I tried harescramble, placed 2nd in the beginner 18+ class.



first race, first holeshot, I was happy



Then family issues came in October, had to sell the bike , wasn't a fun time really,

December came, was missing working on my bike, so I started looking around and found this old piece of junk.

1999 KX250. completely thrashed, but for 300$ Canadian I took it home. Everything was pretty much in boxes, but everything was there, with an extra transmission, extra crank with an hot rod connecting rod on it. Its a slow project and nothing like lipskawa project, I cannot afford all the fancy works parts .

I started by stripping it to bare frame, bearing were shot , everyone of them, suspension needs a complete overhaul, everything was dirty and not maintained.



I stripped the frame, primed it, painted it black, I hope to get it running this year so I have something to ride. and I will powdercoat everything next winter.



Started cleaning the cases



ordered all new cases bearings



I then found a Pro-Circuit platinum pipe for 100$ Canadian ( 70ish USD) locally,picked that up



I also bought from him an 03-07 flo green fender , that is still in shipping.

cylinder is gone for replating, then I will assemble the engine, and start working my way around suspension, then drive,wheels, etc.

this is how it sits right now in the basement.


ill try to keep it update here if people are interested! I update my Instagram too. @savoiepoirier666

cheers!

Great project!
To use those fork guards with the carbon brake line clamp, you'll need to buy a brake line conversion kit, like the one Ride Engineering makes.
The standard brake line attaches at the bottom of the fork guards.
It's a good upgrade (I've done it on my L series KX).
