Installing 2017 KX 250F plastic on my 2004 KX 250, 2003 250, 2005 125

The KXF 450 tank did not work on the 125 conversion, might be ok on the 250 two stroke??

Does this kit work with converting an 07 Kx250? Or just the 03/04 250? (and 125's of course)

Hi racingcoleman, welcome to the site.  The part numbers are different, but it's basically the same shape on the parts fiche.  The 2017 tank is not a perfect fit anyway, so I think you can make it work with a little adjustment (heat or spacers).

Hello

ME and my brother found something else

Rmz 2009 aluminium fuel tank fits perfect. Just need some extra work for the top shape, but it's cheap and not plastic

2013 seat kx250f fit perfect on the rmz tank

2009kx250f subframe fits perfect with the seat and rear fender. Just minor changes

I will make a video with the built

That's interesting.  What year shrouds did you use?

The link appears to be broken.  I updated the settings so you can click on it, but it looks like part of the address is missing.

I found this kit, which appears to use the stock components with a custom seat and brackets.  Looks really clean, and uses the stock tank.

The price is listed at $335, and includes the seat, plastics, and graphics.  Shipping is not included.

I bought a kit to try, and the shipping to Oklahoma was $96.  I'll keep you posted on the results.

I figured I would see how the kit compares to using a conversion kit, like the MX Powder kit I purchased on eBay.

Option 1:

TX Race Kit - $335, includes everything

Option 2:

MX Powder Kit - $200.00 (as I remember)
2017 KX subframe - AC Racing $260.00
Stock KX250F Tank - $175.00 (if you can find them)
Acerbis X-Seat - $179.99
Acerbis full plastic kit - $125
DeCal Works OEM shroud graphics - $49.95 (estimated)
Total - $989.94

If you add in shipping of $96 to Oklahoma for the TX Race Kit, you still get a savings of $558.94.

I don't think you can get the brackets and air boot pieces from that ebay seller anymore, it would be interesting to see if you could use the TX kit along with the KXF 250 tank 👍🏼

I had issues getting the tank to fit correctly.  I was going to heat it pretty extensively to get it to sit down in the frame rails on my 250.

Did you use a KXF 240 or 450 tank?

That Tyler "Breaking News / Illegal Dirt Bike / Illegal Pit Bike" ZZzzzzz Monagan dude on youtube doesn't not seem to be the brightest of sparks and do not think he would be capable of heating a fart with any real success let alone a tank and he didn't mention anything about fitment issues with the KXF 250 tank but did say he had a 450 one for sale at the time.

Mine was a 250F.  Most guys try this swap on a 125, so maybe that makes a difference?
