I found this site by the kawasaki motorcycle forum.

by reading all you guys do the kx 250/500  conversion bikes i too did one .

there is so  much info from all readers that you learn something new or the answer of your problems on bikes

At  the moment  i'm doin stewarts  piston modified

It's a KX250 01 with a 98 500

I ended up using a KX 450/500 FMF pipe mated to a pro circut 304R muffler with the join modified to fit . FMF needed work to fit were the coolant pipe comes out on the right side of the barrel and  the mount cut off  where it bolts on the KX 450 frame, where the rear shock is

I used a 250 radiators heavily modified.

Like to here back from you all

I am rebuilding a 94 kx 250 and have literally spent every evening for the past 3 weeks online checking out flea bay and searching for any and all info concerning Kawi kx's.  I just found this sight a few days ago.  It is hidden very well, but worth the extensive searching.  Glad to be here

I had recently bought a KX500AF and was looking for jetting info at ThumperTalk's Kawasaki 2 stroke forum when I ran across someone else's post recommending this sight for 500 info.

Great find! I've had all my questions answered by reading the 500 forum posts!

I've been getting the black goo at my exhaust and was searching for jetting tips for my 2002 KX250. I found this site and turns out that someone who rides the same year and make as me and who lives in the same metro posted his jetting specs. I'll be trying those settings in the next week or so. This site is great, but yes, I stumbled onto it.

I was looking a ktmtalk.com and I started wondering if there was a kawasakitalk.com.  Well there is, but is was not what I was looking for so kept trying different searches and I found this.  Ahhh, I like this one.

I have a question for all new and old members, how did you find this site? I have been looking through various search engines and I can't believe how hard we are to find! I hope we can fix this problem!

Alan :D

In my eternal search for knowledge, I found this site as a recommendation from a fellow ThumperTalk member.

I have settled on this bike, and will pick it up tomorrow.:yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay:!

Thanks, don!
