Hey Sandblaster!

Will do man, but batteries in my camera are dead and too f*cked up to drive to get some.

This is only one I have for now.....



https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10715533/kx250pic/100_0860.JPG

s**tty picture I know, on the other side of that rod is a stamping that says ... "263"

3 Ball bearings missing from the cage!  But WHERE THE HELL DID THEY GO?  Maybe previous owner did s**tty top end job, pulled cylinder saw a mess of shavings and maybe the bearing cleaned it up and slapped it all back together?

Thanks for your time guys, you guys are like my heroes!

263 is a bone stock 2000 KX250 crank rod.
It may be used on other years as well but I have pics of several of 2000 cranks and they all have 263 on them.
The bearings after dropping out could go out the exhaust.
Definitely should have made some noise on the way out :lol:

Thanks blaster!  I was going about 50mph or faster when it froze.  All I remember hearing is "PLINK!"  I guess it could have been the bearings ricochet out the exhaust!!!!  The next thing I know I'm flying across the trail on my side!!!!!!!

So messed up today (Holiday weekend in Canada), going to mic out the rod tomorrow when my vision straightens out and look in the LA sleeve and ProX catalog see if I can find a long rod to stick on this thing!

i used my hebo-hydraulic clutch over then years on my ´97 250. and now i installed it to the k5-engine, because if is all in the right direction on the kx250, is pulling the clutch with the stock-cable as easy as with the hydraulic-actuation...  :-)



Thanks Moto, I just wanted to know because when the engine froze the bike feel on its left side and totally wrecked my clutch system, need it all, Handle, Mount, Cable the works.... and it looked like a good idea to replace it with a hydraulic, afterwards I found I was spelling Magura wrong, and when I spelled it right the search went through.  Not alot of people on here have had luck with them.

I will just have to research a good setup to use, a easy pull with a good cable and replace clutch linkage on the case.


Does anyone know how to identify a stock Kawasaki Crankshaft?  Mine has absolutely no markings besides a number on the rod.  No brands at all.?  If its a wiseco or another s**tty brand, I will get a used kawasaki one from OEM-Cycle and have it rebuilt for me.

 :-D...  take a new oem-cable, make sure the laying of the cable allows that it works right , replace the seal and small bearings on the clutch-actuator arm. install it with some grease. also a little bit grease to the clutch-lever-bolt and you might be thinking you have another clutch-actuation  installed on the bike...  :wink:

HA! Just noticed the rod bearings numbers are the same on a few of the rods you listed!  As well!!!

ProX Connecting Rod: Part # 03-4309 is for 1978-2008!  Cool stuff!

What is this hot rods stuff like?  I think this crank is rebuildable though, it has some surface damage from being banged around the case a lil.

Just cleaned up crank... man its in worse shape than I thought....  got chewed a bit, almost looks spalled on the steel webs.  The stuffers look ground a bit from the bearing cage and shaving banking around.










I measured the exposed crank journal on one side.  I got 0.0058" out of round.  Big and small end of the crank are nice and smooth, no damage apparent anyway.  What do you guys think, send this off for Prox rod and bearings rebuild or just go for a new crank assembly from Hotrods or get a used Kawi crank and get it rebuilt?
