THANK YOU to everyone who has stumbled upon this video recently! It is awesome to hear all of the great feedback and see this build get some solid recognition. I'm on the hunt for another project bike!
I don't usually comment, but it is impossible to stay indifferent to this young guy's skills and courage. it takes tons of knowledge and bravery to brake a bike to so many parts. my friend, you have the balls of an ostrich!
Glad to see this bike being restored.. I have this very same year of bike which I ride every summer with my riding friends which all all have the fourstrokes , 250s and 450s, I keep up and outride some on this bike. I'm pushing 60 years old and feel like a child when I ride..love the video and long live two strokes.
I bought an abused/neglected 01 zrx1200r about 4 years ago and spent the fall, winter and spring doing to it what you just did. Only thing I did not video it. I wished I had, because every where I ride it, people want to talk to me about my bike.. great job by the way
That seat cover tho!🤣 I once bought a Kdx220 with a hole in the lower case like yours, and I actually brought it to a boat propeller shop and they tig welded it back for me.
Holy shit its 230am and i just finally finished tearing down my 2000 KX250 and came across this video.....first 30 seconds of the video and reading the description GOOSEBUMPS! LETS GO lol
I just found one of these bikes in pretty good condition.. I looked at it yesterday and this video inspired me to buy it.. I’m going to pick it up this weekend for 1900 bucks, seems like a steal.. new top end and everything
@@KincadePavich definitely ride lol all it needs are new plastics and there’s a small tear in the seat.. and the front brake lever is a little bent.. I’m just gonna piece it together to my liking over the winter.
@@KincadePavich ride, but buy parts here and there.. probably take it down to the frame over the winter lol. Do you think this is too much bike for a first bike? I’ve ridden before but never actually owned a bike of my own
I currently have my 98 rm250 I'm rebuilding. Police found it after being stolen 14 years ago. Its came back missing almost everything I have frame wheels forks and half a motor. But pleased to have it back.
Lucky for me, dude is one of the best mechanics😂 I’m really a hands on person but your 2-3 kx250 rebuilds vids make it feel like I could completely rebuild one while it being my first time
I’m in the middle of a total frame up resto of a 1995 KX 250. It will be brand spanking new when I’m done, I can totally appreciate what this kind of endeavour requires.
My dad has a kx250 2001 and I have a 2000 kx 125 i put a 2014 front fender on it and it looks sick lol love the bikes tho gonna keep this bike forever was the first dirt bike I bought with my own money
Pretty sweet man I had a KX 250 back in 95 and I sold it back then for $600 I only paid $600 for it when I bought it and road it for 4 years that bike was still ripping it up only thing was I lost the exhaust but I kept riding it the thing was crazy loud you Could hear it from a mile away I would like to do exactly what you just have completed problem is I don’t have a shop and you really need one to do what your doing
Hey man love the build! literally after watching this you gave me so many ideas with my new restoration of an 87' kx250 thank you so much for the inspiration , I have to do the whole bike inside and out wish me luck.
awesome fkn job. I am so tired of watching the rich people rebuilds with every tool in the world at there disposal, ovens and racks and presses and, its freaking crazy. I love how you do it with all the tools a normal guy would have in his garage. Love the vise/press idea, big kudos. You just showed all these corporates bastards it can be done on a budget.
Awesome work. I applauded your commitment. I know how frustrating it can be just to keep up with Maintanince on a bike I can just imagine a whole build. The good thing about it is you know it’s all new parts. It’s just remembering what Oder to go in.
For my first dirtbike, going into it with no idea what a dirtbike was until I got it, I already knew how to clean the carb, air filter, change the throttle cable and such. I’m only a beginner so I’m only going to know beginner things, but I’m going to learn more and eventually make the dirtbike I have better overtime. I have a list of everything I really need right now. I’m more focused on the actual performance of it rather than the cosmetics.
Un trabajo excelente!! Yo tengo una yamaha YZ 250 de 1998 y me da mucha envidia lo que has hecho a tu Kawa, que lastima que yo no tengo tu talento. Saludos desde España
Good job dude. I did the same thing with my 1999 KX125 apart from the bottom end rebuild. One cannot understand the pain, effort, commitment, time and money needed to accomplish a decent result, unless they have done it xD
I agree with you 100% I'm redoing my old 2002 that's been sitting for 12 years...tough finding parts for the old L model kx 125s these days. No bling at all for sale through pro circuit or anybody else...sucks
Wow... I would swoop on that bike in a heartbeat. I really miss my 2stroke :( This is one of the most incredible and beautiful bikes I've ever seen across all makes in my entire life. Although, I am a Kawasaki rider myself, so maybe I'm biased. I seriously would love to own something like this, great job man!!
Thanks for the comment! I did end up selling the bike a couple months ago for $6000. My next all-out build like this will be a 2003 Suzuki RM125 this winter!
Right? Such a cool concept. I didn't have a blind bearing puller small enough on a project a while back, and was hunting for one at the auto parts store. A guy working there told me about the bread method, and I've now used it many times!
In 2011 after years of hunting, I finally found and bought an excellent 2001 CR250. I have not restored it, but it's in the works, I love this bike so much that I often don't feel right about taking it out. 9 out of 10 times I'll fire her up, give her a pat, hit kill switch & take the XR out instead. Who else out there owns an old 2 stroke piece of dirt bike history, restored or not restored and like me feels very conflicted?
THANK YOU to everyone who has stumbled upon this video recently! It is awesome to hear all of the great feedback and see this build get some solid recognition. I'm on the hunt for another project bike!
Where did you pick up the plastic kit
Plastic kit is not off a 20year.old model

This guy knows exactly how to restore a bike
Besides the spray paint part
Buddy, this is a masterpiece. I am salivating over this bike! Thank you so much for documenting it and sharing on here.
Thank you so much for the comment! Glad you enjoyed watching the process.
this video made me cry reminded me of Sean Pauls bike THANK YOU

The amount of passion and commitment you show in this video just blow my mind away, sending much love from Indonesia ❤
Much appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Anyone else feel naked when the bike was laying on its side? Great vid btw. Bike looks sick!

i looked that my country flag in you garage. I’m very happy 🇱🇰
I cant wait til I can live a simple life with a happy family and working on bikes and vehicles just like this in video. I love this!
That seat cover tho!🤣 I once bought a Kdx220 with a hole in the lower case like yours, and I actually brought it to a boat propeller shop and they tig welded it back for me.
Haha right?! And that's awesome - it's great to be able to bring blown up bikes back to life like that with the help of some expert welders!
i subbed. you are the smoothest mechanic i have ever witnessed.
Dude that bread trick is the coolest thing ive ever seen, definitely trying that.
Right! A guy at NAPA autoparts told me about it years ago and I've used it many times now. Really neat trick.
Thats what u call commitment, working with a sling on, 🔥
dude, I have a deep respect for such drive, great job man, that's a big project and it looks like it paid off.
Holy heck she runs smooth at the end :O

So exciting to hear! Hope this gives you some inspiration. Best of luck with your build.
@@KincadePavich Just finished my build lol

Awesome! Are you going to ride it or do a build?

Nice job Kincade. Great bike to restore as well, I raced this model back in 2000, they were a very quick reliable bike and easy to maintain.
You are talented youngen, no doubt about that. Also you rebuilt with a busted wing. Hahaha fair play
I currently have my 98 rm250 I'm rebuilding. Police found it after being stolen 14 years ago. Its came back missing almost everything I have frame wheels forks and half a motor. But pleased to have it back.
That's so cool! I still have never built a Suzuki 2 stroke and I want to find one!
The Works Pipe mod is sooo RAD! Good on ya mate....
Awesome job mahn....One hell of a build// KUDOS FROM INDIA..!!!
Currently working on a 1999 kx250 which was an absolute monster before it blew !
Incredible build and incredible work documenting it for everyone else to enjoy too!
Thanks a ton! RM125 build video coming soon!
You are the best my friend
One of the most awesome restorations I've seen....well done
I see Sri Lankan flag on your video.Im from Sri Lanka🥰🇱🇰
Lucky for me, dude is one of the best mechanics😂 I’m really a hands on person but your 2-3 kx250 rebuilds vids make it feel like I could completely rebuild one while it being my first time
Cool video, Cool bike. When I was little I had an 01' KX100 and it was such a fun bike.
dude you absolutely nailed it
Very good rebuild🔥
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪🤙
That thing wants putting in a glass
Cabinet and stored in a museum jheeze
So epic! Great work and attention to detail! Loved watching it come together. Thank you.
The KX250 is one of my all time favorite bikes 😀..awesome job on this bike 😍😊😀
UNREAL work dude. Great build. 10/10
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

That's awesome! She's gonna be a beauty! Thanks for the comment
Awesome effort! best I have done is an engine rebuild, a full rebuild like this would take a massive effort!! Top Job!
What a masterpiece!

You did a great job. I like the attention to detail you did on this. I enjoyed watching it. I’m restoring a LT250R right now.

From the canvas you had you turned it into a masterpiece! 1 of the best builds I've seen on utube.
It was a rough canvas... Thank you so much!
I'm 60 and I redone my 99' YZ250. There's nothing like doing it yourself.
Oh, and it's 300cc now. lol
Hey man love the build! literally after watching this you gave me so many ideas with my new restoration of an 87' kx250 thank you so much for the inspiration , I have to do the whole bike inside and out wish me luck.
Good luck!! It's a process, but a rewarding one!
Job well done! This bike is hella semski....Very inspiring
I did a full restoration on a YZ 250 it was a fun project went to the same extent as you did here you did a nice job 👍

Thanks a lot for this comment - glad you appreciated that side of it! I'm always trying to expand my toolbox, but I make do with what I have!
Just came across your vid. Great job! Nothing better than personal gratification from doing your own work.
Thank you! Full build video of my latest RM125 build will be posted in the next couple of weeks!

Great Job!! You need a front brake line guide.
She's now PRICELESS, what a BEAST 💪❤️🇬🇧

Ur a beast on the bike building love the love and passion u have for the bikes and build
Much appreciated!
Sehr sehr gute Arbeit faszinierend was man aus alt machen kann sieht aus wie ein aktuelles neues Bike wirklich sehr gute Arbeit
Vielen Dank!
Awesome work. I applauded your commitment. I know how frustrating it can be just to keep up with Maintanince on a bike I can just imagine a whole build. The good thing about it is you know it’s all new parts. It’s just remembering what Oder to go in.
Those rims and hubs are 🔥🔥🔥
I'm happy I went with purple. So stoked on how it turned out!
It looks the bollocks mate you should be proud of yourself
@@KincadePavich What brand are
Great video! Love the clean up part, I’m in the beginning stages on my 99 KX250.
My dream is to be able to do what you've done with this bike. I enjoyed this very much, thanks for sharing this with us
So glad you enjoyed watching! Thank you for the comment!
That's awesome bro!
You did a great job.
Thank you!
The bread method is the exact example for “if it works, it ain’t stupid”
your builds kick ass! doing things the right way and making everything new in these moto bikes is inspiring!
Thank you so much!
Man ur videos help me get thro the day

years ago we did 2 kdx bike frames hot pink with green plastics it looked sick
This makes me wish I would have kept my 94 KX 125 now. Honestly I didn’t like 4 strokes that much
That.. That looks spectacular! Much love from Australia
Absolutely gorgeous! Well done!
Came out dope man. Beautiful work of art for some it’s a lot of work but for me it’s a therapeutic
Sure is a lot of work, but it's very rewarding! Kept me sane this winter while I recovered from surgery!
Insane! Wish you many hours of fun with it. Well done 👍🏻
i love these vids so much. they always turn out so good
That rear fender is waving "hi".
Great job btw.
