    klt 250...for free...kinda

    Just picked an 84' klt250 for helping my buddy put the plastic back on his warrior. It ran but had low compression, So i took the top end off and other than a little carbon and a bad head gasket everything looks to be in fine shape. I leak tested the rings by putting some oil on top of the piston, it was still there the next morning, so im pretty sure the bottom end is decentClick image for larger version.  Name: 100_1289.jpg  Views: 29  Size: 247.2 KB  ID: 159294Click image for larger version.  Name: 100_1282.jpg  Views: 80  Size: 260.5 KB  ID: 159295. I ordered a top end kit for it, should be here soon. Will keep updated if there is any interest.lol.

    Also, are there any other problems is should know about these things, other than the wiring issues?

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that an aftermarket front fork for a 90/110?

    OP, if all you had to do to get that was install some plastic, that was a great deal.
    If I can restore this piece of junk, anything is possible.

    the KLT250, almsot identical to the 200. Check out the rear differential on it. rock it back and forth and turn the knob in the middle

    If you have that model.

    I've ran through mine inside and out. New valves and guides, new bore, RM stator CDI. Ported intake, harley muffler. It pulls like a tank.. Not super fast, but it wont stop!! I've got the same front end also.
    I just wanna go fast. If your not first, your last!!

    It was a 200m. I traded it off for a TRX250r motor. Brother needed a spare for modding.

    My dad ported the head. New valves and guides.

    We've got an RMstator CDI. I don't know if it does anything as far as performance goes. Just needed a new 1.

    You can get a performance camshaft here. Go to the clearance items, klt200 cams for $75,
