MadMatt579 Added a reply to 90 YZ-250 Pegs - Whats the "Wide Peg" replacement?
4/12/2018 3:46am I think these were 2012 yz450f pegs......fit my 89 yz250 with a little mod, i think i had to squash the spring coils a bit.

4/10/2018 8:32pm After seeing all the restoration builds on here, I've decided to start my own. I picked up a 1997 KX250 3 days ago off Ebay. The guy had it at a staring price of $300 and a description saying that it had sat in a shed for the last 12 years. The guy said there was a lot of interest...

9/30/2016 8:24pm Thats an awesome find mate.......well done on getting it back to its former glory. Great low hour example. I found a pretty good one too, not as good as that but not too bad at all.

6/9/2016 3:07am Peatz12 you should give your pipe a little bit more shine and then blue the welds with a blow torch. ....will finish the pipe nicely. Heres my yz pipe...it was covered in surface rust but came up great.

6/8/2016 6:10am Great bikes fellas....I think the stock 96 look is pretty good as it is. Personally i like the older splitfire looks like the 94 kit. The purple screams 90's. Ive got a 94 kx125 but I'll be doing a 95 kit for the ease and cheaper expense of the parts. Here's my 97 kx250 i finished a few years ago...

5/31/2016 10:57am It started out as loose parts and non running engine, but im happy to say that its all back together and running awesome now. Im more of a 90's man, but i really like this bike. Its a great all round machine.....especially with the few nice mods ive done.

5/30/2016 2:53am Steph500 the forks are original 89's......im just using the 91 guards as i couldn't stand getting them damaged. ....the purists won't like it but its hard to find a pair of good forks these days.

5/27/2016 4:54am Looking great mate.....they're an awesome bike. Tip: I advanced my timing and it really woke it up. Its snappy from top to bottom.

10/23/2015 2:13am Haha, yeah everybody says that! 
The forks are actually at a flush height with the stock clamps, but this old school Answer clamp is higher for some strange reason. I dont think the cr's needed to turn any sharper! Got it working really well with that setup. The swingarm was water blasted, just do all your prep work first...

10/22/2015 1:54am Heres the Evo-Mx kit. Looks bloody fantastic and has held up great after a year of racing. This photo is when it was new though. 
MadMatt579 Started a new thread Not another CR!
5/17/2015 8:56pm I know there's been multitudes of CR's restored on here, but here's mine to add to the list. Rebuilt from the ground up, complete engine, every bearing, every seal. I cant believe how strong the motor is, it absolutely rips. Hope you like it.

5/17/2015 5:26am Hey Schwanz22, Hows your 93 going? That sticker kit and seat cover is from Evo-mx.com, a top quality product. Thats the HRC graphics from back in 93/94, just clean and simple. Racing it for the first time this weekend, cant wait!

5/11/2015 6:59pm Details. ...... Had to build it from a few bikes as its hard to find a good unmolested cr these days. I found a 93 import, a 92 model and a 94 chassis. I decided to go with the 94 chassis as i want to minimize the dreaded cr headshake. And i had the 94 kayaba forks from the 125...

5/11/2015 3:39pm Yeah i agree. .silver rims would look better but there's no money for another set unfortunately. Got a basketcase 89 yz250 to do next. I thought about de-plating the pipe but haven't tried it yet. Yes Frank at Evo-Mx is making this graphics and seat cover kit. Its not up on their website yet but you should be able to...
