Sandblaster Added a reply to JUST ANOTHER 2016 KTM 250SXF CHASSIS KX500 ENGINE CONVERSION GONE MAD!
5/4/2018 8:04am I know it's been a while since I last posted. I've been swamped with special projects, other builds, and trying to make a living lol... On this bike I'm waiting for the pipe to get back so I can do final fitting before disassemble and powder coating. I've used some of the time to work more on my Guru Drum...

4/23/2018 9:44am Lol... Yes, they turn just fine. Especially if you run the Emig dog bones which put a bit more weight on the front end and help protect against rear wheel hop over nasty whoops. In fact, one of the things that Motocross Action Magazine commented about Sean Collier's KX500 we built was that they were shocked at how well the...

4/5/2018 9:36am Love that Kashima coating... The 2 piece adapter rings should be out of production today or tomorrow so it should be a couple of weeks before I get them..

3/30/2018 7:47am Thanks! For now I'm in a holding pattern waiting for a few more parts to get here so I can move to powder coating. On the engine, I'm waiting for some custom parts I designed to come back from welding... Then I can get with it and get all the hand work on them done. I have had samples sent...

3/28/2018 8:45pm Thank you FMF for the muffler... I will take great care of it after I cut it up a bit
This will really accent my custom Growler Racing pipe

3/26/2018 7:37am I don't represent TSR so I don't know what their reasonings were. I can tell you from my perspective few people will buy them in stock configuration. Why? stock used cases are expensive but still available. You can also repair a LOT of damage for not a lot of money. Adding too that, a counter balance setup would add quite...

3/24/2018 7:55am Can't a guy exist in Anonymity? Oscar???? Who's that???
I'm Mike... Oscar and I started KX Guru Racing a little over a year ago when we built Sean Collier's KX500 which was featured on the April 2017 MXA magazine cover... KX Guru Racing is not a commercial enterprise. We started it to promote big bore 2T bikes and how...

3/24/2018 7:36am I'll tell you what, nobody makes better parts then Troy at TSR Products. Everything fits just like it should and you can't beat his finish quality. The Exhaust valve cover fits a large range of KX250's....

3/23/2018 2:31pm Getting serious with TSR KX450f Clutch cover with the filler neck for an adapted KX500. Troy is making them without the filler neck.

3/21/2018 10:00pm That's all good to know. Thank you. I thought it was something good to have and made good sense. I can't wait to ride this bike. What I'm really looking forward to is having some of the guys at MXA get off it glad that they rode it, but happy that they never have to ride it again...
Can...

3/16/2018 4:32pm I was so desperate for a aluminum right exhaust valve cover that I was going to have these pieces water jetted from 1/4" aluminum, glue them together with aluminum adhesive, then sand and polish.... Thank you TSR from saving me from myself Lol..
Thank you TSR!!!
Thank you TSR!!!

3/13/2018 9:47pm I love what you did with the Honda engine. You did the exactly how I'm gonna do mine.. I'm gonna really watch my temps carefully. Kawi's can be finicky... That height kit is awesome.. Probably gives you some much needed room... Although mine isn't all that tight. All I can say is beautiful bike... Nice build. I hope mine comes...

3/11/2018 5:29pm It was definitely a sobering moment taking that first cut but I've done dumber things in my life Lol.. On building my wheels... You are the man... Those are really sweet wheels. I can't wait to get them on the bike... but I'm just not quite ready yet.. But who knows, I may do another mock up when the pipe...

3/10/2018 3:04pm Cool. I wanted to use a 450 chassis but I used what I could get. Post some pics of your conversion, I'd love to see it.

3/10/2018 7:07am 190 port timing isn't bad. Certainly way better then 187 stock. I could be wrong but after I started playing with the K5 cylinders I came to the conclusion that the original design was 191. Like most of their MX engines Kawi likes to leave a little in reserve. And why not, most guys are not using the full potential...
The bike is looking good...
