  • This video is a step by step process on how to tear down your Kawasaki KX250 two stroke dirt bike engine. If you have a model year between 1992 and 2004, this video is exactly what you need to help you disassemble your engine.
    In this video I will be starting with the right side of the engine which includes the exhaust governor removal, water pump removal, primary gear removal, clutch removal, kickstart assembly removal, idler gear removal, and the entire shift shaft mechanism.
    All tools that you will need for the engine tear down and rebuild are linked here in the description below from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. When you do this, you are directly supporting me and this channel.

    You’re a great teacher. I know lots of guys who can repair motorcycles. But they don’t have the ability to explain it to the average person the way you do. Great production as well. The lighting your commentary and camera work are just so helpful to us garage motorcycle mechanics.😁👍

      I really appreciate that feedback Dennis, thank you! That's why I am here, for us garage mechanics looking to save a few bucks with our rebuilds by not having to take it to the shop. Then we can spend a little more on those "bling" parts! lol

    Great video, Greg! Very informative! I am into vintage racing and I chose an 88 YZ250 for my first rebuild...man, I wish I could make that choice over again! Keep the great videos coming maybe I can learn something...lol!

    • @GregHitchko
      @GregHitchko  ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha the 88 will be fun to rebuild that is for sure! The two stroke engines are really similar so you should be able to pick up a few things and apply it to your rebuild🙌🏼

    Is it a bad idea to file down clutch hubs when they are notched? Just filed my ktm 300 outer hub back smooth. Seems to be working ok so far...

    • @GregHitchko
      @GregHitchko  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It can work in a pinch but I wouldn't ride with it too long because there is now too much tolerance between the clutch hub and the plates/fibers. You'll have a greater clutch feel with a new basket in there for sure.

    Cool video, I’m putting together an 02 right now. I was just curious if you remember the idler gear being a little loose? Like some wobble? I talked to a guy who just did a cr 500 that is also just held on with a circlip, and he says the idler gear wobbles on that that as well. Thanks!

    • @GregHitchko
      @GregHitchko  ปีที่แล้ว

      Right on dude! Awesome that you're throwing an 02 back together. Man, I wish I remembered if the idler gear was wobbly or not but I don't. I can see that being the case though. I will double check when I go to put it back together.

    • @GregHitchko

      I would say that you could tear down the KDX engine by using these videos. Two stroke motors are pretty similar so even though it won't be exact, you will get the gist of it. 👍🏼
