Not without the triple clamps from the 05-07 KX. Steering head bearings are different between the 250 and 500. You will probably need some machine work and possibly a steering stem swap (500 stem with 250 clamps) to make it work. The 250 has bigger forks and wont slip into the 500 clamps.
A couple of 03 and 04 KXs, a few YZs, 3 PE 400s, a DR and a TS.
