Just got a '03 KX250

sounds like the same thing I'm having to do now. crank, rod, piston, replating the cylinder. its a total frankenstien job. I think I could do the frame up thing later, but I'm not messin with the engine.

Great, well keep us (me) posted as to how the engine job goes, both from
a ease of doing it to cost... since I'm up next hehe!

looks like with parts and labor it'll be about a grand. of course I'm not doin the work myself. it would be cheaper if I did.

[Mudshark]

Not too bad .... at all. Any idea how much was labour?

[MadKaw]

the guy I'm dealin with is gonna charge me about 400-450 depending on how much B.S. he has to go thru getting the cases split. also the 200 for getting the cylinder replated and shipped is built into that also. about 400 for the parts...

[Mudshark]

wow! not to bad. I thought the parts alone were about 700... well that makes it
possible for my budget to do pretty early next year then... cool!  thanks for the info.
