3/10/2019 5:44pm Right, but the point is it is the same layout as the 250, regardless of what people want to call it. Those cylinders are hardly even canted back much anymore. I think the biggest net result of the design is that it puts the fuel tank much further rearward and that probably also contributes to the seat height being higher.

3/10/2019 10:46am The point...….was that the other guy said it was "conventional", which it is not. Same reverse engine design. In fact, in past years I believe it was the same frame. The difference is power and maybe some differences in weight distribution.

3/9/2019 11:53pm Really, aside from weight and power, it's exactly like the 450.

2/13/2019 10:11am This build is incredible. Sorry if I missed it, but where did that swing arm come from? It looks very much like a factory arm from back in the day with that weld going down the middle the length of it. Great job!

If that's the case, then why not just make the whole bike and not a kit? You would have to buy a new RMZ250 and then buy a RM125 engine kit. You would have 12-14K in a 125. I guess you could sell the engine or find a blown up 250, but why not just make the damn thing.

Thanks a lot, I think I’ll buy this... https://www.ebay.ie/itm/4-Wire-Full-Wave-Motorcycle-Regulator-Rectifier… and I can then get leds, I think this will work, straight from stator to lights...

12/30/2018 2:50pm Led bulbs are kind of directional and ac power alternates in both directions. I'm no expert and don't know a good way to explain it, but with ac power an led bulb only recognizes the power in one direction and not at all in the other direction so with ac power they do tend to flicker even if you can't...

12/30/2018 1:33pm Gotcha. Ok, so if your bike already has a lighting stator and you just want basic lights to "get by" then really you just need an ac regulator (I think they are around $20...check Baja Designs, Trail Tech, Ricky Stator etc) and no battery. The power wires from the stator just go to the ac regulator prior to going to...

12/30/2018 11:37am Question, do you plan to run an led bulb? If so, go with a regulator/rectifier from a place like Trailtech or Baja Designs. That will convert your power from ac to dc. Leds do not function properly on ac power. Not sure if the bike you are looking at has estart or not, but if it does not here is...
outerlimits Added a reply to Headlight recommendation
12/30/2018 10:53am I do most of my yearly riding (not racing) at night. As mentioned above, definitely add a helmet light for starters. I'm not familiar with the stock lights on Huskies, but some stock lights can be made to perform very well with led bulbs. I have a WR450 that has a pretty large reflector that seems to work really well...

10/4/2018 8:16am Not sure I would call it less powerful, it was just all bottom and midrange like the GPX. The 200 reved out a bit more. The 200 is a good bike, I have one in the garage, but the 220 was the better bike for riding the gnar. The KDX was 218cc, the GPX is 224cc. A current owner changed...
outerlimits Added a reply to Ready for a Chinese 250 2-Stroke MX'er?
10/3/2018 9:31pm Yeah, I get that, but the closer comparison is the 220. From all the reports I've heard, the GPX bike makes very similar power to what the KDX220 did.
outerlimits Added a reply to Ready for a Chinese 250 2-Stroke MX'er?
10/3/2018 12:07pm The last KDX220 would be $5800 today if left completely unchanged from 2005. Still would be a nice bike to have at that price, but no estart, no autolube, no counterbalancer, conventional forks, ancient handling. With that said, I'd likely still line up to buy one of those new if Kawi still made them. Probably one of the best pure...

For what it's worth, I bought my son a TaoTao 4 stroke, semi auto 90cc dirt bike, brand new for $600.00 CDN (so around $12.73 US Dollars). I'm not saying it's an engineering marvel, but it starts first kick, every single time. Even after sitting in an unheated garage untouched all winter, it fires up first or second kick. He rode it for 3 years, and now my daughter has ridden it for 2. Very light usage. Mainly dirt roads at our camp, and trail riding. Have had 2 issues with it. The heat shield on the exhaust broke (one...
