Greetings;
Pardon my stupidity but I'm now 58 years old and have become somewhat "rusty" in the MX world. The story is that I got this KX (pictures below; sorry the VIN pic is so crappy photobucket wouldn't cooperate) for free with the thought of doing a rebuild.
The engine is frozen solid. I have never done a rebuild on an MX bike before - this one seems to have a lot of good parts but I don't know..... In my efforts to make a start I tried to ID the bike via the VIN but I must be doing something wrong. Questions:
1) My kid says it's a 1987 but I can't distinguish between a 250 and 500 or the year. What is it?
2) Is it worth getting the engine running? (I'm very good at trying to pee up a tree - I've done it on several cars)
3) If it's worth it should I rebuild the engine or just buy a used one?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
