Well I have very slowly been making some progress on the build. Been taking the engine apart on the 2 stroke motor, planning on sending it to sand blaster for some vapor blasting. Also thanks to jbernard I got some sweet frame rails and yoke, so far it looks like everything will fit pretty nicely. I got some cutting done today but it's about -8 F here right now, so I was working in the basement and the compressor didn't have enough juice to power the air tools to cut out the welds, so I'm gonna wait till it warms up a little to work in the garage and get these welds cut out and start doing some tacking.



where did you get those good looking frame rails and Y? I am looking at a 2013 KX250f and thinking about putting a 14 KTM 300 motor in it...

Those rails were made by jbernard, who is doing the really awesome 500AF conversion on this site.  He hasn't been on in a while, but I think he may still have some.

Alright guys sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I haven't made much progress. The project started as a 250 2 stroke conversion, but when I came across a nearby complete kx 500 for $250 I really couldn't say no. I bought the bike, and it's been sitting for almost a year. Been hard to find time and funding for it since I moved across the country, and didn't even have any of it with me, and working in the motorcycle industry doesn't exactly help the funding. So anyways, I finally got around to getting the motor on my bench. Still have some fab work to do to the frame but I figured I'd get this started. As i started tearing into the motor I realized it was a little worse shape than I originally thought. Cylinder walls have a little bit of surface rust, connecting rod is pitting, main shaft has some surface rust, I will see what I will clean up. Seems like photobucket has gone down, so I'll give my best attempt at posting from imgur.

I fixed your pics.
If you go back and modify your last post you can see how I fixed the pics so that they show up  8-)

Split the cases tonight, not exactly what i wanted to see. The previous owner said it was his dads bike and he decided to restore it after his dads passing, until finally giving it up and selling it to me. He said he rebuilt the bottom end, obviously every bike on Craigslist has a new bottom end, I took it with a huge grain of salt and figured I'd split the cases anyways. The main shaft had some surface rust on it but it came off ok with just a little bit of scotch brite, so no worries there. However, the main bearings were trash, the right side main bearing came out with the crank, the connecting rod has aluminum that appeared to be molten at some point, and you can see where it shaved the cases and eventually cracked the left side case. Right side appears to be ok, and thankfully the crack appears to be repairable.

Made some more progress during lunch today. Not a whole lot, but better moving forward a little bit than nothing at all. Cleaned up the sub power valves a little bit and started chipping away some of the carbon build up inside the exhaust port. Have plenty more cleaning to do before i start porting it.
