2007 KAWASAKI KX250AF BUILD
« on: January 07, 2015, 11:25:29 AM »
A buddy of mine has a 03 KX250 engine complete, fully rebuilt and looking for something to stick it in to.
It just so happens that I have a 2007 KX450F frame.
So we stuck the engine in it to see what would happen.
And of course the frame yoke is too low to let the exhaust pipe out  :-o But then we knew that. :D
Next thing I know my buddy pulled a 01 cr250 frame from storage and drops the engine in...

PS... This engine is a 95 KX250 that was handy for fitment purposes.



Kawaonda or a Honasaki  :?

Haven't really gotten into it yet but just from a brief look, putting the kx250 motor in the Honda frame is easy.
The lower mounts line up with the swing arm pin.
Not sure about the diameters as it was a quickie.
I won't be putting the KX in to CR but I'll give some more info on it just for grins.

Yeah but you don't want that 01 garbage. Still too early of a gen, that thing was stuff as s**t and broke like glass. P.s. On a side note, do you have a legit website? Or just the ebay store?

I'm going to be using the KX450F frame so no worries there but I do have a use for the Honda frame  :evil:
Do I have a Legitimate website?
No, just some Illegitimate websites  8-)
www.oem-cycle.com which is informational in nature and has links to my eBay store as to my web forum www.kxguru.com which is conversational and informational  :-D

looks nice...  with the 250 is all the same way like making a kx 500af conversion ... only front motor mounts would be diferent at least...  :wink: .. if you make the front mounts as changeable brackets, could the frame be used for both engines like the old kawis 85-89 (the frames were complete identical, except the vin-code) ... just an practical idea...  8-)
