I'm about to pick up a pretty clapped out 1997 kx250. The bike has definitely seen better days and needs a lot of work. Two reasons I'm willing to pick it up, 1.) it started right up on the 2nd kick without choke. 2.) I'm picking up a running bike for $350.
Looking to source some items for the bike. Let me know what you have and I'll update the thread as I get the bike tuesday and get her up and going.

Well did some things to the bike this weekend. That two stroke exhaust spooge IS A B**** to get off of anything.

Swingarm bolt? Is it supposed to be like that, just the shape of the head makes me think axle, but this is my first build
I have a trailtech vapor from a 2001 wr426f, would this possibly fit on my kx250 with a different wiring setup?
Build will be going slowly, I am still in highschool and have bills. Have to pay car payment, insurance, internet bill, and pay off this dirt bike, which I am buying from a friend.
