I am getting ready to start a 2004 kx250f with a 220 motor project. Just wodnering if anyone else has done it. Any tips, measurments, or advice would be apreciated. Also where do you recomend i get it all welded.

Not that I've seen, but I'd love to see progress from yours! I'm expecting we'll be able to pick up 250f rollers pretty cheap in the coming years, and I've been waiting for someone to do this!

Aluminum welding is a bit trickier than steel. You'll need to find a welder who is good with a TIG machine. Not too much of a trick, as most welders these days have good experience welding aluminum.

i have thought about it and saw some 125, 250, and 500 aluminum frame hybrids but never this ive thought about it but i ride moto and a 200 or 220 wouldnt work. but sounds great post pics on ur progress

Hi
Im from New Zealand and am presently putting a 2006 KDX 200 into a 2007 RMZ alloy frame. Lot of work but looks great, will post some feed back when completed .

Cheers

i was gonna do this project once i got the money till i found out tht the 200 and 220 arent to good on a moto track and the price of a kx250f frame. there is a dude however over in italy tht has a kx125af, kx144af, kx250af, kx500af, cr125af, cr250af, and the cr500af tht dude makes all his own and there fully modded the dude is magical with makin aluminum framed hybrids

i went to a endurocross race in florence SC last year and a guy had a KX250af bike...he got 4th or 5th in his class...sick bike..im anxious to see how this turns out!! please keep us posted!!!

Hey bulabula, that bike was featured in DirtRider mag earlier this year. I dont know if its' really ethical to scan and post the pic here - but it was a cool article.

DANG!!! and wouldnt you know my subscription ran out last year and i just never got around to renewing it!! its ok though..i can always daydream about riding one haha

from what i could tell in the dirt rider article its more work then its worth. you be much better off using a honda cr125 frame.
the older 04/05 250fs have a solid tube cradle, no split for the exhaust, and poor suspension to boot.
But, hey mabe its all about the challenge for ya so go for it!!

I was at a dealer the other day and really looked over a 09 & 10 KXF 250 and the down tube in front of the motor looks like that would be the biggest problem to get around...Id like to see some up close pic's of those bikes the guy in Ohio builds using 2 strokes in the newer 4 stroke frames.
Does anyone know of one or seen one ??

Look at the service Honda stuff. They do it with 250s and 500s... wonder why they never did a kdx motor.. maybe bc noone gonna pay $10k for a kdx... but i wouldnt pay that for a 250 mx.. now a KX500AFX... if i only had the $$$$$

A place in Ohio has been doing about the same for alot longer.
I think MPC is it's name...There website wasn't been updated in awhile.
Don't know if they still do it or not..GOOD looking bikes at service Honda tho..but $$$$$$$$$........
