I had also hard to find. Amazon.com for the 96' KDX200 rear wheel (Excel spokes, sold as compatible for the KDX200 and it doesn't fit exactly, the guy who laced my wheel had to bend the spoke angle) and cross-center.com for the 97' KX250 front wheel. Each shop sells spokes supposedly compatible with everything like all Kawasaki since 1975 :mrgreen: but there are hundreds of different references.

That is one sharp looking bike. Love the bare Kawasaki green with clear tank and black seat. Looks great.

What year front fender is that? Looks like the color is a perfect match with the Maier and KDX shrouds.

Bro,
That bike is beautiful. Where did you get the rear fender with the light from?

For the moment the bike won't start :sad:

Cylinder replate, new piston, new connecting rod, new crank bearing, new plug, new air filter, new clutch basket, new clutch plates, and fresh fuel mix. Carb fully cleaned with new seals and choke. Frame paint removed for electrical contacts. It only run 1-2 seconds with the first kick and after nothing. I got sparks when kicking. The first time I tried the carb boil was full and gas sank by the overflow pipe. I checked the float level. It's not easy to mesure but it seemed little bit too height so I corrected it. But the result was the same except for gas overflow. I find that I don't have a lot of gas on the sparkplug, like the opposite of a flooded engine.

:drool: WOW! Props on the awesome work man, the bike turned out beautiful! Definitely one of the nicer ones I have seen. What are you using to photograph with? Looks to be a bit better than a cell phone camera lol
