KX250 Frame???

Post by 80elkster »

Has anyone tried this swap using a KX250 Frame? Is the motor that much different than the KDX or the 125?? I'm keeping my eye open for a KX rolling chassis

The 250 frame cradle is alot different so hear. The 125 and KDX motor are similar and mount up pretty easily. I am pretty sure the down tube would be far from the kdx engine. Notice how the 125 frame down tubee is at a steeper angle than the 250. The 250 cradle is longer and wider.

It would work I am sure, not sure how it would look though, but the 125 has better ground clearance and is lighter.

Thanks for the info. I would like to find an 03 or newer to take advantage of the rear head stay that is present on my 93 donor.
