"new" kx250
« on: June 28, 2010, 08:57:11 AM »
So I'm down in Southern CA helping the inlaws relocate and I come across a garage sale.  I notice a green bike and it gets me interested.  I go talk to the guy and it's a 1990 kx250.  I end up buying it for $100 (after all I have my truck with me and tiedowns - why would I not buy it?).  It doesn't run.  It's a total basket case.  I really don't know why I bought it, but I took it home and put it in the garage.  I guess if I get time I may dig into it - who knows.  It's a warm feeling that I get when I add another engine powered something to my garage whether I really need it or not and the fact that it doesn't run doesn't matter either.  Maybe I saw some remote potential in it.  I need therapy.   B.O.

I used to race a 90. Good bike. I used to swap rear wheels with my 500 also.

Your right, you do have a problem.I strongly advise that you buy another KX500 immediately, then lie in a dark room for 3 weeks.If symptoms persist, contact your local Kwak dealer(AGAIN).Illness of the cranium has never been so much fun.ENJOY!

And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....

I had a 1990 KX250 back around 1997-1998 I guess it was. It was a good bike but mine was all top end, the low end was almost non-existent. I miss that bike.
