Hows it coming along?

[alexandros]

Everybody is on holidays here in Greece now! So I will finish the project from september
Still haven't make the engine mounts

Now, this one is cool. Must be nice to have all those spare 86 tecates sitting around. haha

this thread gave me the inspiration to drop a newer kx 250 into mine as well! looks to be a simple build, father in law is going to be fabricating the motor mounts for me, and whatever pipe work and hangers i need. gonna be sweet having an 86 t3 with newer motor in it. and the best part is the availibility of replacement parts. sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

the port, so Monday I will order a new fmf pipe for a kx 250 05-07 engine.
Here I would like your advice!
Witch one to buy? the fatty or the gnarly? What do you think will be the best for the engine and for the trike?

I would get a stock pipe and see how it runs... its often hard to beat the price and performance of an oem pipe... If you insist on a fmf I would get the gnarly.. These newer KX's arent known for having as strong of low-end power as previous years... and with the added weight and traction of a trike it would be much easier to ride

Someone told me ( from kxrider.com forum) that I can use also from a 2003-2005 engine with no problem but the part numbers don't match!

Just because the part #'s are different does not mean they dont interchange... they make slight changes from year to year to adjust the power delivery characteristics... its hard to go wrong... it will either be more aggressive or more mellow... either way you win.. lol...

have you figured out what you are going to use to sleeve the hole for the swingarm bolt? the Tecate uses a smaller 15mm bolt.

I have already the electronics from a 2004 kx
I will go with the fmf as I can't find here one oem used pipe and new oem and fmf here they have about the same price!
I have ordered the gnarly for better low end and a turbinecore2 silencer.
My problem now is that i can't find a lighting stator for the 05-07 engine!
Electrosport has one Lighting Stator 8-Pole for Kawasaki KX250 (02-04) - 50W but when I contacted with them they told me that it wont fit!

they didn't told me why but I can't figure why not to work with the 2004 electronics that I have

Maybe the stator just doesnt fit the engine cases or fit under the ignition cover... it will obviously work with the electronics...

Alex, There are comapnies here in Australia that offer aftermarket lighting kits for motocross bikes. I think that aftermarket lighting kits may be an easier way to go than trying to cross fit Kawasaki gear.

Scooteroo, Hows your conversion comming along?

cr480r, when you say older kx motors had better low down torque. What years are you refering to?

[tri-Z ripper]

Awesome build especially coming from greece keep up the good work!!

Can you give me a phone or email so I ask them if they have lighting kits for the kx 250 05-07 engine?
Or even better can you ask them for me?

[OZQUAD44]

No worries, give me a couple of days and I'll scout around

[alexandros]

Back to the project with another frame this time.
And a small problem just appeared!!
I had to cut a little the frame...
