I've always had great success using 4-0 steel wool and Bar Keeper's Friend cleanser powder which they sell at every supermarket and DIY store. Works great on both stainless and aluminum!!!!
I love all the comments saying don't buy a 4 stroke too complicated. I'm so happy I made my own choices I now know how too rebuild both 2 and 4 stroke. Nothing holding me back.:)
Brooo I was going to get this one but ended up buying a Yz250, when you get it up and running me and 2 other friends go to sun dog trails or lake draper with our bikes so if you’re down just lmk! We will be 4 deep with all these 250s haha
You're so lucky. In the UK any old crusty POS bike will cost you at least $1000. Just looking at an advert for a 2004 KX125 with a seized engine, the guy wants $1200!
I got a 2009 kx450 just needed shims for $850 he thought it needed top end so got it cheap, $26 to fix then sold it for $3800 so not bad “Nsw Australia”
I wanted this bike. guess i was too late but I had cash. lol anyway what did u end up giving for it. these are easy to rebuild, I have a press and can press rod into the crank its easy and a lot cheaper.... I have a 95 and really enjoy it, just need to update the suspension.
man thats crazy, oklahoma natives usually never make it places on youtube! make sureyou stay up on saying ope in the supermarkets. its a requirement as you know.
Tim Luttringer yea i was about to buy a weisco crank for my yz125 but really bad review so i paid like an extra $50 for hot rods , i was considering oem but it was like $500 for it
This makes ZERO sense because HotRods and Wiseco are assembled and made in the same exact building, they arent any different. Aside from that you clearly don't read any reviews from recently. The shit reviews on the cranks were before their redesign.
Too bad you werent close to OKC when I sold my 98 KX250. Had the same exact setup as yours. I sold it for $300. When they blow up they blow up. Be careful.
You must be, or were, in the Air Force or army. I’m saying Air Force stationed at Aviano? Just curious because I made that flight 6 times when I was in Air Force stationed at Aviano... plus you have a month off which is normal military vacation... Could be wrong but like I said just curious?
Hey I'm Looking For Some Old KX Plastics Would You Happen To Still Have The Old Ones From The Bike And The Piston And Rings That You Didn't Want To Use Because I'm Not Picky I Know That I Can Still Use It And All Of The Extra Part's
sam dunn ha! There are some heavily abused bikes out there, I'm amazed some of "em keep getting bagged on every weekend & refuse to die; 2 strokes are incredible in terms of putting up with neglect/ abuse
Probably a lot of us thinking where and how do you find a bike for $400. In 09 I gave $1700 for an 02 Ktm 300. Saw same year model Ktm 300 in same shape recently for $2600. By the looks of that KX it would list for no less than $1000 here where I'm at. $400 won't get you a burned Klx 110 here much less a 250 that needs a little. Terrible.
Noah Black how spooky is it to trail ride up there? I'm in south b.c. , saw 9 bears between april- sept. Most of them are running away, but a mama & 2 cubs barely paid attention to me.it Burst my bubble about thinking that my engine noise is enough to keep me 'safe". I want to try riding up there, but that is another level of wilderness than southern Canada....
We one I really don't trail ride and I also live in a city so I really don't see any wild life it just depends on where at in Oklahoma. Next is once I get my bike fixed I might be trying a trail
I live in mustang and saw this up for sale so Its kinda cool to see it in a build video. It was up there forever to, at least 5 months.
I live in yukon! Lol small world
Lol
I rode this bike back then. What a ripper!
The checkout was priceless 😂 eBay is my best sponsor too
I've always had great success using 4-0 steel wool and Bar Keeper's Friend cleanser powder which they sell at every supermarket and DIY store. Works great on both stainless and aluminum!!!!
Oh God here we go again,another bike build. But this is there channel where I started loving bike builds
Wisico makes the wrost bottom ends bro.. Use hot rod for the crank nd wisico top end..
Thats what i said doing a build right now
I love all the comments saying don't buy a 4 stroke too complicated. I'm so happy I made my own choices I now know how too rebuild both 2 and 4 stroke. Nothing holding me back.:)
I just picked up a 99 Kx250 that's a bit clapped. I'll definitely be following this series excited to see what you do with it!
Brooo I was going to get this one but ended up buying a Yz250, when you get it up and running me and 2 other friends go to sun dog trails or lake draper with our bikes so if you’re down just lmk! We will be 4 deep with all these 250s haha
Nice bike Diedrich. Looking forward to the videos of you restoring stuff
Nice deal. I need to start looking.
Hell yeah can’t wait for this new build
Cheers from TOKELAHOMA! (OKC) Gonna be nice when you`re finished.
Just picked up an 05 crf250r for $350 in Oklahoma last week. New crank going in as we speak.
You're so lucky. In the UK any old crusty POS bike will cost you at least $1000. Just looking at an advert for a 2004 KX125 with a seized engine, the guy wants $1200!
That's crazy. In my area, the only think you can get for under $1000 is garbage. Cheapest thing on Craigslist today: 1984 DS 80 - $600 - no title
I really like your videos👌 Can’t wait for the next one;) $400 is such a good deal🤙
That's one of the best years.
I live in ada it’s cool to see these people live so close
Hilarious when you where shopping you have a new subscriber my friend
The moment you said you're from Oklahoma City, i was like holy shit I'm from there too! Not very many people from here.
I got a 2009 kx450 just needed shims for $850 he thought it needed top end so got it cheap, $26 to fix then sold it for $3800 so not bad “Nsw Australia”
The front number plate is number 5 and the back plate are number 30 :')
I love the old kx I had. 97 was a pretty mean machine although it was heavy and didn't handle to well
I know ur done with motor by now but next time try Pro x pistons .I raced two strokes and preferred the pro x . Something to think or check out..
That car n the driveway 👌🏽
I didn't remember the 97 K250 being such a smooth looking bike
Love your videos man. Keep it up!
I remember this was a good bike. I rode Honda and this chassis was much better. The Honda held up better though.
I wanted this bike. guess i was too late but I had cash. lol anyway what did u end up giving for it. these are easy to rebuild, I have a press and can press rod into the crank its easy and a lot cheaper....
I have a 95 and really enjoy it, just need to update the suspension.
Well done mate.
4:00 "The reason I think I *stole* this bike..."
he just means he thinks he got a really good deal
lmao, did he say "chink tools"? Jesus man! You really out here wilin' out
How is that crank holding up? I hear the Weisco cranks are trash. Top ends are ok.
what is the song that starts at 0.53? Nice to see that someone is taking care of older bikes :)
followed because your name aligns with my philosophy.
man thats crazy, oklahoma natives usually never make it places on youtube! make sureyou stay up on saying ope in the supermarkets. its a requirement as you know.
Nice bike good luck.
Weisco cranks are know to blow really easy would have got a hot rods crank
Tim Luttringer yea i was about to buy a weisco crank for my yz125 but really bad review so i paid like an extra $50 for hot rods , i was considering oem but it was like $500 for it

You must be, or were, in the Air Force or army. I’m saying Air Force stationed at Aviano? Just curious because I made that flight 6 times when I was in Air Force stationed at Aviano... plus you have a month off which is normal military vacation... Could be wrong but like I said just curious?
