I Brought This $1000 KX250 Back to Life

[@Grumpygus94]

This era of bikes brings me back to my childhood. I’m 29 years old, so these were the bikes my dad and his buddies rode. CRs, YZs, KXs. I remember being 5,6,7 years old and hearing them kick over these 2 stroke beasts. The smell, the sounds. It’s what made me fall in love with dirt bikes from the beginning. I love them and I always will. The 4 stroke may be the future, but the 2 stroke is and always will be the king.

[@KincadePavich]

Agreed. I love riding both 2 and 4 strokes, but the smell, the vibrations, the rawness of this era of bikes is so satisfying. Glad to bring back some nostalgia for ya!

[@Grumpygus94]

Your content is so good btw, thank you for putting in the time and energy in making them. I’m rebuilding a 2003 kx 250 and these videos are a big help in the process.

[@dennisgriffith3741]

I agree same goes for me. I always wanted a 2 stroke with a big fatty pipe. Love the smell and sound. Finally my x fiancée bought a 95 kx 250 for her 16 year old son. He drove it in to the ground. He didn’t know. So I took it on. 3,500 later I love it with all my heart. I love that kx 250 95 I love spending money on it. Eventually I’ll get all titanium and aluminum bolts. Every thing will be knew. I don’t have a work space at the moment but once I rebuild my life I start spending time and money on her again. Thank you for the video. I love watching it. I’m doing the same thing. I wish. I had a shop like yours and more money but great job. You’re very knowledgeable.

I totally agree with you, Kincade. That Kawi Green with the purple is soo sick. Nice revival of an old steed.

[@anthonyreddy2834]

Love it! Since You used Duplicolor paints, Should used their "Metalcast Purple " on the levers. Just a thought. I revived a 1989 RM 250 Year's ago, Painted the Frame Purple (from yellow) added a New Seat cover (Purple/Yellow Camo pattern) loved that bike. Great re build on a budget, keep them Coming 👍

[@KyleHuff-t7u]

Really enjoy this revival builds! As a racer it’s not worth it polishing every part in low visibility areas cuz they just get dirty right away. This is definitely a racers build cost effective and super reliable.

[@KincadePavich]

Thanks a lot! Yep, couldn't bring myself to do a full build on this one. Just wanted to get her going!

Where do you get your books on how to assemble the engine together? I have a 2002 honda crf450r and its fully disassembled.

Depends. eBay or a google search. If I can find a free PDF I use that.

What is the value of a bike like that? Can you do a cost breakdown?

[@KincadePavich]

There is right around $2,800 into the build including the $1,000 cost of the bike if I paid retail for everything. I do save some on that with my sponsors. I'd love to do a full breakdown if I have time, although there is a lot of content in the works haha! I will put it on the list, but if I don't get to it there's your number at least!

[@HooligansMx]

An extra week of work and it could been ten times better considering you have all the tools to do so and had the bike torn all the way down makes no sense

[@KincadePavich]

An extra week is a significant amount of time. And had I gone that far, I'd have kept going farther, and the bike would've taken 2-3 more months. I drew a line on this one. All I wanted to do was get it running again and freshen it up again and ensure someone is riding it this summer, not next year.
