He Metalman, how does your 250F frame hold the 500power???
Is it already twisting or is it strong enough???

 Dutchie

I've had the K5 engine in there for almost a year now, and I have seen no signs of twisting, no cracks, nothing.  Well, I do tend to go through pipe mounts fairly often, but other than that it seems to be pretty solid.  I just recently got the 17's.  The majority of the time I was riding trails and motocross, and a bit of desert.  I've taken some REALLY rough landings and it was just fine.

I've got a 04 RMZ and realy like how the bike feels and handels.
The Alu frame conversions are realy great and looks very sweet. But the KXF/RMZ is one of the best designed bike there is. Whith yours, the engine looks perfect in that frame. Now big hole in the frame where the carb is. Looks like it's bild for a 500 engine!

ohmy ohmy ,

why can,t i be left alone these days,..

some guy sells his conversion without the sumowheels
it,s everything else on the pic for sale.

not so cheap as my other project,but i just can,t resist ..
it,s a jadoul kit i guess from the pic.

'01 engine with boyesen reedvalves involved
nice projects coming one after another  :-P

oh and this stuff would set me back about $ 1050

He Menno I've been checking it out to!!!!!
But its not a Jadoulkit, its a250 tank from 1995 or so. Als het goed is h?( If I'm correct :-D).

This is Jadoul. They used 99 tank schrouds. But stil a nice mod.
I'm looking around for a beast again. Thinking about a RMZ450 08 or 09, but the K5 is stil
wandering around in my head. Especialy KX500AF's!!!!! So how NOW'S :-)

finally made it home after a lousy 400 miles of driving,
i did a testride after arrival and that thing really rocks.

found out that it is an ex-jadoul motor,used in monobike-racing.
which was a single cyl race-event back in the days in belgium .
he kept the wheels and forks&swinger,so i didn,t pay the full price luckely :mrgreen:

the cylinder has been reworked and it has a french special pipe,
i even do think it,s a MILLET pipe ?
they,re from france too.
if so ,that pipe alone costs up to 900 E at least for cr500 it does  :-o
together with boyesen reeds and fresh top-end it,s incredible fast :-)

pics of how its been transported :-P


this project will move to it,s own topic
