The reason I came to this site was to find info on kx500af's and sf's. I found what i needed. it is now my turn to put some back.
I have decided to do an 99-02 250/500 conversion as it is the most straight forward and if my memory serves me right the 99-02 250 wasn't a bad bike. Over the past few months i have been collecting the parts together. for the engine I purchased an 89 kx500 with damaged clutch basket for ?700, I thought it didn't matter what year as they are all the same and i planned a complete rebuild. I put a new clutch in it and rode it a few times but ended up seizing it up. So i pulled the motor and sold the chassis parts on ebay and got all my money back plus more. i managed to buy a kx 250 2000 rolling chassis from ebay for ?300.
I know this has been done before i would like to know if members want to see this one, also if anyone wants see the engine rebuild as it seems a few are apprehensive about spliting cases. i can go into as much detail as people require on the build and engine rebuild.
heres some pics, i have found a horrible dent on the frame. I think i will source a new one unless anyone has some clever ideas
