KX500 1989 frame
« on: December 26, 2010, 09:25:12 PM »
Hello,

I wonder if my KX500 1993 engine, fork, swingarm and so on fits in a 1989 frame?

Best regards,
Johan

It will all bolt right in. I'm running 93 engine, swingarm, and 98 forks in an 88 frame. No mods needed. The 93 frame had a lot of cracks in the welds. I have since gotten a welder and welded all the cracks in the 93 frame. Next time I rebuild I plan on putting everything back in the newer frame and getting the 88 powdercoated.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.
