Absolutely nothing wrong with an 85 kx250 trans, providing it is good to start with, or rebuilt properly, Frames only crack when people abuse them, so look it over closely by the welds first.

Good bikes for vintage if your class is 85 and earlier, although there are slightly better ones. This being said, all these bikes are getting hard to find, so if a decent one of any type comes your way and the price is right, you can't go wrong with any of them.

If you are a fast intermediate or expert, and want a few more peak rpm's, you can send it to tom morgan racing. He knows more about the kxs's of that era than any other non kawi factory mechanic.

I am racing an 86 kx250 in the intermediate vintage class, and it works xlnt for me.

NOTE - Take off the kips cover on top of the clutch cover and try to move the lever side to side. if it moves much, then the pin is broken on the lever and you will likely need to have one made then rewelded to the lever unless you get lucky and find one on ebay etc.
