KX500/250 or KDX250 motor

[firko]

The other alternative is to sell it to me so I can squeeze my mid 80'S KX500 engine to it. It might just fit without much work
I could do with a pre 95 bike.

If you can't find a KDX200 engine, you aren't trying too hard. There must be a million of them out there…

Actually, I've just been down that path, and they are MUCH harder to find than you'd think, particularly if you want a post-1995 one. Finding one with a live barrel has still been beyond my skills.

Anyhow, you can all bitch, or you can find me a motor.

You will have to ask much more nicely than that… 

[Nathan S]

Pretty please!
Pretty please with sugar on top?

[vmx42]

That's not asking nicely, that is just sucking up!!!

Not very becoming for a new father, have some pride will ya.

I've got a two year old who has worked out that using the word "pweeze" with just the right tone will get him almost anything.
Dunno why it wouldn't work for me too?!

DT or WR 200, can get them from Japan cheap enough, if I tune the tits off it should  stop any more 4T shitter talk

There the sort of motors you put into 125 frames, not 500 frames.

This wouldn't be too bad if your up for a rebuild

Perfect, thank you Mr GMC.

Is this where the original motor ended up??!!

[LWC82PE]

Is that what i think it is?

[frostype400]

That is crazy I can barely stay on my brothers 96 kx80 with the stock motor the wheel base is way to short to put a bigger motor in it.

It just dawned on me that Nathan probably thought I was taking the piss with my offer to buy his roller considering our different opinions on the pre 95 thing. I'm serious however. I have a bit of a love of KX500s and have a motor looking for a home. Interested in a deal Nathan?

[Nathan S]

I'd prefer to go the other way, to be honest.

My bike is a bit of a bitsa - KDX triples, Honda RWU forks and front wheel and RMX250 rear wheel - Its one of those things where its market value is way below its value to me.

Throw a Pro-Circuit pipe and muffler at the new combination, re-advertise the quad for a couple of hunge and you got yourself a cheap KX500
