This one belongs to my dad.  He bought it new in 1975 along with a KX 400.  He rode the KX 400 and used the 250 as a "buddy bike".  The 400 was traded in on a new (demon possessed) 1984 KX 500, and then a two ton DR 350.  When I went off to college in 1991, it was put up and not touched until last fall (2013).  We pulled it out, cleaned out the gas tank and resealed it, and the thing just fired up.  The tires even held air.  Don't worry, we fixed the seat.  It was cut down for a shorter riding buddy of my dad's.  I got a chance to ride it for a while over Thanksgiving this year.  Man have bikes come a long way!

I have this video of my cousin riding it in my driveway without a gas tank or seat.  We were still cleaning the tank out.

It's actually pretty fun to ride.  Until you hit a bump, or need to stop, or lose feeling in your hands from the vibration.   :-D

Got the graphics on my 2004 KX 250.  I ordered from Decal Works, and they were able to accommodate my KXF plastics.  I put a 2014 KXF 450 fender and number plate, and 2008 KXF 250 shrouds.  Just a word of warning.  If you put KXF shrouds on your KX, they come in two different sizes.  I learned the hard way after getting the wrong graphics.  :oops:

Today I made a softstart of the kx500 project...
 Warmed her up good and drained the grey/white oil from the gearbox, hope that the transcover isn't to badly corroded around the waterpump. But there was no oil in the coolant so hopefully no leaks from the waterpump to the gearbox.
Other issues are from a quick inspection:
* bad radiators, scaushed with missing/cracked brackets etc...
* bad rivnuts in the rear subframe
* drycracked boot for reedcage
* damaged fitting for the clutchcable on the left engine case.
* spongy clutch (clutch arm in left case looks a little worn)
* someone has removed the coating from the upper forktubes, have to meassure the thickness  so they havent taken to much material away...
On the good side:
Grease nipples in linkage for the suspension...
The repairs / restoration that has been done seems well done
