KX250A5 race ready, SOLD
« on: February 01, 2014, 01:24:58 am »
Ok I'm selling-off one of my KX250A5's, I've ridden it twice since doing the following work, there is a new toy that I have taken a fancy to.  I have a Pre 85 250 and an Evo Open class bike, I want a Pre 75 bike to play with now.  This KX is only available while the Pre 75 bike that I want is still for sale.

The KX owes me over $6,500, I just did the sums, scared myself a little.

* New .25 piston & rings, just sleeved.
* All new bearings & seals in the cases.
* New clutch plates.

* New headstem bearings.
* New wheel bearings front & rear.
* New cables.
* New grips.
* New needle & seat, slide, needle jet and jet needle.
* New .45 kg fork springs.
* New PD fork valves.
* New fork seals.
* New tyres front & rear (rear used once on the 400).
* New green fork boots.
* Rebuilt stk rear shocks, re-chromed shafts, new seals.
* New seat cover.
* New Full carbon reeds.
* New Unifilter airfilter.
* New RK x-ring chain.
* New sprockets, rear alloy.
* Wide footpegs.
* New alloy folding gearlever.
* 10mm less offset triple-clamps, much improved steering & handling.

Wow that CZ is nice!  I was hoping to get a BSA B50 from WA, I think I've missed the boat (no pun intended), but still thinking of Pre 75 or Pre 78.

Funny that, I too have been drooling over some B50's lately and thinking how much I'd love to own a big thumping bit of Brit iron. Although they do seem seriously behind the times in tech even for its own era. They would look far more at home on a pre 70 grid, I know nothing about them so maybe they are legal pre70??? Fluck knows n fluck cares, that look and that sound will always will always reel me in like a moth to a flame   8)

Sorry Walter the Metisse doesn't do it for me.  I wanted a B50 as I fell in love with them as a kid, I probably don't really care about its performance, as Brendan says, the sounds makes me shiver.  My KX is a great bike, I just don't need three of them while other bikes stir the soul.

Hi John,
Is the KX still for sale? Would you be interested in a 1973 CZ 400, race ready?
Cheers
Wilco

Ok I need an electric start play-bike for the missus, I don't have any money (or room in the garage) so have to offer the KX250A5 for one.  Want a low use Yam WR250 or WR450, may consider some kind of electric start KTM.  Anything around?
