88-89 KX250 and 88-04 KX500 plastics, and seat are the same. Frame are also the same but the 500 engine mounts are slightly relocated. I believe the KX500 gas tank is larger capacity but will work as well. Not sure about the radiators between the 500 and 250. Engine parts are limited to the 88-89 KX250.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

You might want to check out my kx250 interchange chart:

It is not done yet but there is a lot of info.
Be sure to scroll to the right  :lol:
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.
