After looking at your frame pics more closely I noticed that your coil mount brackets are in the wrong place for a 04. Someone moved your brackets to the right side of the frame. The large coil is correct for a 04 but it mounts above the cylinder. Also it looks like your front motor mounts have been moved. They are not even the factory mounts. I took some pics and will post them for you.

Cheers for your help!  Desperately trying to get this up and running....  Its been a bit of a jigsaw but it may come together quite quickly once I sort these few niggles out.

I got hold of a 2005 air boot today... It's doesn't fit!! No where near.  Soooo it looks like a long 4 week wait as its on back order with Kawasaki.   :?

The carb for the 05 and up 250 is shorter from end to end. I measured it against my 04 carb last night.

Man.. My luck never changes... Just gone to fit my rear brake and its no where near!!

A quick comparison and it looks like I've been given a kxf pedal and master cylinder.

Does anyone know if the cylinder will work with the correct pedal? If not... Will a 2003 kx 250 cylinder fit? As a breaker in the UK has an 03 cylinder.

Cheers once again!

Im pretty sure the 03 and 04 cylinders are the same but the brake pedal is different between the 2. Was this bike in a bunch of pieces when you bought it?

I had a 250af which has the 2004 engine in.  I decided to go back to steel and found a breakers that was selling this rolling chassis.. Apparently it was all 2004 and the only modification was the top frame engine mount!!!

As you can probably tell.. Looks like he's got rid of loads of parts from and kx 2003 onwards!!!

For some reason it appears I've had an airboot stuck in my shed all this time. Part number is 0031 which looks like its a 2004-2005 kx 125 but it fits!!

The wife and I have been resurrecting her old 04 250 (now a 300) for a few weeks now. Its been apart for around 4 years with parts scattered all over the garage! Its been a bit of a challenge but we are on the home stretch and hope to fire it up tonight. Good to see you got the airboot straightened out!

The red frame is an '05 we're working on, held below is an '03/04 coil



The bigger looking carb in both pics is an '03/04 (Ktric wiring is longer on '04 because of revised pipe mount/plug bracket relocation)





'04/'03 Coil location



'04 Air boot



Silver frame is '03 (similiar to '04, red is '05)
