Rebuilding my 1987 KX 250

I have also used JB Weld for Aluminum with good success. It's a little more runny so if you need to get between the fins just tilt the rad and let gravity do the work instead of trying to poke at it with a pick. Good job on the kickstand too.

Haven't seen that drip I had, but I'm going to keep an eye on it...

Here's a video of the bike running. I was surprised how hard it was to kick it over with that compression...my falling apart sneakers didn't help either.

There's no packing in that baffle either, not sure where it all went, but it's poping out the exhaust....

I'm also running Amsoil Interceptor in 93 octane.

I'll have to find the trick to starting her....

Hi,

Just some progress....

New Warp 9 rear rim and RAD SS spokes....have all the parts for the front rim. Also aaded new grips, radiators, hoses, spark arrestor and seat cover.

I got it now to where she starts first kick  . Last year it was a nightmare trying to start her. The kick start lever helped as well as knowing how to start 2 stokes.

Anyway, got more parts to put on.





Had a little oil leak underneath. Not sure where it was coming from. Kind of pissed since everything is brand new and it didn't leak all last year and this year.

Now I start it twice this week after sitting for 2 months and it has a little leak.....I re-torqued the clutch cover as well as the engine case bolts....hope that does the trick...I hate leaks

Man , you did an awesome job, I remember you first posting about your bike and looking for parts. I lost my nd4speed password so I need to post stuff here again. Good work man.

Thanks,

Yep, It's been a year already since I got her.

I have all the parts to finish her...

I'm currently lacing my front wheel and then I'll put on my new tire.
