newer KX500 engine in a 1989 KX 250 chassis?
« on: August 02, 2011, 02:54:09 AM »
Does anyone know if a newer KX500 engine will bolt right in to a 1989 KX 250 chassis?

the bottom mounts might work but i doubt the head stay would without some tweaking.

Major Correction!
Sorry, I should have read the question better.
I was thinking all KX500!!!!!! Not KX250 mixed with KX500....
You are right, the bottom might work but the top is different.  :x

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

89-04 Should all bolt up just fine in your 89 Chassis.
You can check the interchange of each part here:

If you are not sure about your chassis year you can check it here:

who would of thought. any real difference between the the two, as far as handle and weight goes?
