Hey, everyone!
Wanted to check in...i'm new to dirt, new to the forum, and new to Kawi in general!
I live in Denver, CO and am primarily a street rider (Yamaha R6). I've had a couple quads through the years but nothing I ever really did much with. I've been wanting to pick up a couple dirt bikes due to where I live and figured might as well get into it now.
I was having drinks Saturday morning (always the best time to make purchases) and found a 1999 KX250 with a locked motor a couple hours away so decided to pull the trigger on it. Overall it's in good shape minus the motor but being a two stroke i think it'll be an easy fix since i'll be doing the work myself. This will also be the first rebuild I've done on a dirtbike or a two stroke so i'm looking forward to it. Picked the bike up for 500 bucks.
Plan for it will be as follows:
- Most likely a top and bottom rebuild
- New plastics
- New graphics
- Chain kit
- Powdercoat the frame (prior owner attempted to paint the frame black and its of course chipping so I think i'll strip it down to the frame to have that done)
I've got friends at a few bike shops so could get hookup on most things so am hoping this will be a pretty easy but fun project
Looking forward to all the information on the site and might even shoot some of you a message for help along the way haha!!
